| 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. |
| another romance anime that the main premise depends on not having development on the romance ^^' ... don't know if I dig that anyways... the girl is cute, so I'm staying for the fanservice scenes |
 goat shyt really loved the lighthearted premise of the manga, so i hope the anime does it justice! |
missed chance to do different length of socks
| 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. |
 |
 Even the math is wrong, I am speechless as a physicist. |
| Nah bc if I was the new guy, that’s exactly how I would respond. Mona has the whole ass world simping for her. She’s pissing pff and way too cocky. He didn’t even fall for the panty peek 💀 Poor Medaka transferred to the wrong school if he wanted to hone his mind. Mona is trying to hone his love onto her Wonder what’s going on with the girl who looked at Medaka weirdly and the short haired girl in Mona and Medaka’s class What’s hilarious is that she’s throwing herself at him and practically getting naked. But if the roles were reversed everyone would say this is sexual harassment 💀😂 This shit it’s stupid as fuck and so cringe lmao this is heavily carried by fanservice and everyone is eating it up |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| Mona wants to fall in love with Medaka, but she will have complications to do it xd I had read a bit of the manga before and now I will continue it with the anime. The 1st episode was good, Mona is pretty. The opening and ending are good.  |
| I think it isn't that good so far compared to the manga because the manga is in my opinion carried by the very good art style, but the anime looks kinda low budget so far even though it doesn't matter much for a romcom but the story isn't anything too special, it's fun though, let Kuroiwa live his religion in peace lol |

| Mona Kawai, someone who is considered very beautiful by everyone around her, like an angel who fell from heaven. Because of her beauty, Mona becomes the center of attention everywhere, including at her school. Everyone, regardless of gender (male or female), is fascinated by her beauty. Oh, but you know what? That doesn't apply to Medaka Kuroiwa, one of Mona's classmates. Medaka doesn't seem fascinated by Mona, in fact he seems cold to her, unlike the others. Mona has done various things to make Medaka fascinated, but it seems that nothing has an effect on him. In fact, Medaka wants Mona to stay away from him and not talk to him again unless there is something very important. Honestly, the plot is very cliche. A very beautiful girl tries to make a man fall in love with her. And, that's basically it! I was hoping he could withstand Mona's charms for at least one episode. Oh, it turns out, he didn't even make it to one episode... |

| Bro is in the perfect environment to hone his skills as a monk, I just hope he succeeds in resisting the wench of Babylon. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| You're in need of better training, Medaka... Also how did he enter the world when they're not allowed to get close to girls- Oh well, let's go with it. I'm not sure what else Mona can do in the next episodes because she basically... showed a lot already, ehe... |

RomanRonin said: @felixsifuri Completely agree. The reveal at the end of the episode took away all of the plot tension. We all know how its going to go. It's a shame too. If they made it a show where Mona has to recognize and overcome her narcissism, or at least reflect upon the circumstances that inflated her ego, in order to woo the one guy who treats her as a person instead of an idol of affection, then it would've been a great show. And, just judging by non-spoiler reviews of the manga, I doubt that's how it'll go down. I was hoping that’s how it would go down. I’ll still watch because I love trash anime. Anyone else getting B Gata H Kei vibes? Mona reminds me of Yamada. |

| Mona voice actress is not what I imagined when I read the manga, wrong choice for me and the art is too subtle or maybe not mature enough... |

| Mona is an easy girl. Doesnt mind to show her pantsu to anyone just to charm them. Doesnt mind to show her bra to anyone just to charm them. My advice for you Mona is to go to your classroom no pantsu, sit next to MC, and accidentally flip you skirt. Easy peasy. 3/10 |

| F*ck it let's add another guilty pleasure to the list |
