Well, all it takes is NOT to overuse common anime clichés. The fact that series did not started with him walking on her changing clothes and getting slapped should tell you that this is not what we usually get.

No entertainment is what made the story realistic.
And this is why I love this show

tsk, people these days have become heavily reliant on fanservice rather than story, starving for scenes ,they do a quick cute scene and it becomes repetitive and ends fast, typically why ppl tend to forget plots of recent ones , not only the recent authors are to blame for seeking service/quick repetitive cliché moments rather than building story but also the people who read or watch them are to blame.Been watching old animes a lot. So better appreciate these rare ones or if its still not your thing you are free to watch anything else^^

Clichés to me are overused and very boring. The fact they didn't use them made this show interesting to me.

I completely agree! I'm so glad a good number of people are mentioning this! I love it for exactly this reason.

i usually don't like slow paced romance like these but this one is very calming and it's not boring for me at all cuz I find both Mcs interesting and I also love the fact that it solely focus on the 2 main hero heroin, no third or fourth person.

I heard it's supposed to be slow paced, but so far i have been enjoying it. The realism is a plus for me.

You are right.... for many this isn't going to make for an entertaining 12 episode TV series. All thanks to its mundane nature and slow pacing. Yes, you can like it all you want, but lets not pretend it is a really entertaining series because it is "realistic".

Also, a series being mundane in nature (with slow pacing) doesn't make it realistic. Right now, the way these characters interact with themselves and their world (even in the circumstances they are in) isn't a good representation of realism in any way shape, or form...

kind of understand that it's boring. As much as i know our life is too stagnant, this show far better compared to other romance where they rely heavily on the fan service to make it "entertaining"

As I thought it is not the step brother-sister incest type anime.Its actually very good if you look from the general perspective.When she offered herself to him but he refused,I understood it is not about incest but
changing themselves
By the way I would say it's a solid 7/10!!

Currently reading the LN vol 8 and this is very wholesome!

Don't expect your usual shojo tropes and drama. It's just two people clumsily navigating a interesting situation.

It's a very mature story about slowly starting to trust in people again.

Not very entertaining, doing the opposite of stupid overused tropes doesn't automatically make something good. However, I watched the second episode expecting to drop it but instead I felt that it has the potential to get better over time, unlike most anime that only get worse after the first episode.

EDIT after watching ep 3: Now I'm hooked. Not just due to what happened, I'm also starting to enjoy the overall calm vibe (maybe I enjoyed it even more because right before it I suffered through the relentless annoying screeching in the second and last episode I'll ever watch of Senpai wa Otokonoko). Other romance anime from the current season like Giji Harem and Alya-san had a stronger premiere episode, but I have a feeling that their gimmick is going to get stale and repetitive.

While it's true that such interactions might not be action-packed, they can offer a deep, genuine connection between characters. If you’re looking for more excitement, you might need a plot twist or additional context to spice things up.
