Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms
Oh my god, this might just be the first trashy anime of the year.
We've got an insuffera ble main character named Mona Kawaii, who's desperately trying to charm a guy who's completely unfazed by her antics- Medaka Kuroiwa. The dumbest part? Medaka is training to become a monk, and that's why he's forcing himself not to fall for her seductive attempts.
This low-effort romance had me cringing the entire episode. Mona is trying everything to win him over-flashing her panties, showing off her bra, even flaunting her boobs. The plot is so silly because not only is Medaka completely resistant to her charms, but she's also starting to fal for him instead.

Welp, compared to "I Have A Crush At Work" which is a very cute and realistic adult romcom and "I'm Getting Married To A Girl I Hate In My Class" which is a very funny and messy romcom in the best way possible, this one is definitely not up to par and more on the sloppy side imo. The comedy definitely doesn't hit as hard bcs it resorted to the bottom of the barrel lewd teases right from the get go, but at least outside of those moments it does still made me chuckle a few times. Nothing's wrong with lewd jokes btw, it can definitely work as a comedy, but for this one... meh. The characters also kinda bugged me a bit, with Mona being an absolute narcissist and Medaka dropping his gigachad aura way too fast. With all that said, since I like romcoms in general, I will still watch a few more eps to give this show a chance, but with the other 2 romcoms' better premieres, I doubt this one will stay longterm on my watchlist 🤔 (I hope I can be proven wrong).

Anyway everyone here should also try to watch those 2 other romcoms this season!

Caught up to the manga of all 3 of them and yea, you're right. This one is really inferior to the other 2 with I Have A Crush At Work being the best out of the 3.

The first episode is a fun and lighthearted start with plenty of laughs, but it doesn’t stray far from the typical rom-com formula. While the dynamic between Medaka and the charming heroine is amusing, it’ll need more depth to stand out in a crowded genre.

If you enjoy school-based romantic comedies with quirky character interactions, it’s worth checking out—just don’t expect anything groundbreaking from the get-go.

I may be one the few that also enjoyed this first episode as I found Mona's attempts to get Medaka's attention hilarious. While Medaka explained to the 2 classmates why he isn't supposed to get close to girls, because he's heir to a cat temple, I still didn't understand why it isn't allowed. I'm guessing he can't date or marry and have a family because him being an heir may give him a title similar to a priest or monk, but regardless of the reason hopefully it will be further explained down the road and I wonder what Mona will do if she finds out...

I doubt Mona will ever find out—at least not until the manga is nearing its end—because that revelation would likely flatten the story's momentum.

The scene with the three boys on the swing was unexpected. At first, I thought the MC had ignored them and walked away, only to realize he actually took the time to explain the situation to them. It was a subtle yet impactful moment. I'm definitely looking forward to more episodes!
@Desi_Nehra
Yeah I agree, hopefully Mona won't find out until much later because it's entertaining watching her trying to get his attention. However, even if she found out soon she may still try to get with him since she might get a thrill out of having him break a rule or something.

I mean, would a season of anime really be a season of anime without the barebone, generic, and every other word in the dictionary to describe this ass, romcom?

Remember reading this up to a certain point where it got REALLY bad. The first couple chapters though, aren't TOO bad. I mean, they aren't that good either, but it's certainly not as bad as when a certain character joins the fray. So for now, I guess this'll be passable enough. And right off the bat, neither of these characters are likeable in the slightest.

The main girl is, well, I don't want to be rude, but you know what I want to say. And our main dude is just "emotionless". I say that because he actually DOES have feelings for this girl, just because he's a monk he can't show it. Yep, that's our premise here. What a premise... I feel like Medaka when Mona tries to talk to him watching this.

But really, from the first part of the episode alone you can tell that this'll be carried by the fanservice. I mean, we got a panty shot and a peek at this girl naked basically... all in the span of five minutes. Also forgot to mention, aside from the gooner bait, the main bit of this show for at least the start, this shit looks so cheap and ass.

And honestly, I'm glad. This is exactly what this shit show deserves. Shit visuals as well.

God bro, this is just... sigh. In a day where we have two other romcoms, that are FARRR better than this slop, don't even bat an eye to this.
@IzanaSolos going to watch whole series ?

She's pretty annoying but I'll see where this goes.

I never read the manga because I heard there was no progression, but that was a while back, so let's see if the anime changes my mind.

Queen Bee lol..

OP & ED both are really good
On line with expectation but even went more wild.
The hate it's getting is unreal. Yes it's a seasonal wish fulfillment(even harem) bait type trash. But for what it is it was really enjoyable good trash, get your snob hands off.
Mona actually looks Kawai (good job character designer) and fan service is top notch as well. Now just don't tone it down it's better this way.
Mc is very barebones and need lots of work and even being a total narcissist Mona is way more likable. I don't wanna call best girl before seeing others but she set the bar high..
This sort of junk food is why I watch anime... Solid start
@WaterMage yeah trash for one person could be treasure for someone else.
