| Surprisingly good, I really liked it. Both the leads are really good, the dynamic is nice. Really liked Yoshida, he's a good guy with a good moral standard. Sayu is interesting, she seems like she's mature and got her head well over her shoulders but her situation seems to signify that her values are messed up somehow as Yoshida often points out. It's a situation where she looks good on paper but something is broken somewhere and I'm really curious about her and why she ended up leaving home. I'm tempted enough at this point to read a couple chapters of the source just to find out. Looking forward to more, this good be good and I wouldn't mind if it took a more serious mature tone. |

| The madlads in Japan took a hentai premise and turned it into a super wholesome show, and I'm loving it. |
 |
| enjoyed this a lot more than THAT other show airing this season including an age gap, especially the MC |
 |
LeonardoXD said: Is this just a bait to get people to not watch this show?? i don't get it but there is no NTR in the manga or LN so far, I've read up to LN Vol 4.i'm back again and wow i'm definitely dropping this after i looked up the manga and comments there : |
 |
| The way this show is bending over backwards to make taking in a troubled young girl as your live in maid seem wholesome or even noble is grossing me out. Everything is about making you feel alright with this penthouse fantasy. Oh, he refused the favors. Oh, she'd end up somewhere worse. Oh, she's still so innocent even though you just established she's been driven from her family and prostituting herself across Japan. Koikimo making a comedy of this kind of age gap is inappropriate, but the way this one tries to wheedle around your conscience while sexualizing it is worse in my book. It's fine if you like this. Drawings of bad things aren't real bad things, but don't fool yourself that it's actually wholesome. /rant |
| This was really nice, my Mondays this season are looking really good. Sayu and Yoshida have a great dynamic, he kinda acts like her dad and I find that sweet lol, some good fanservice here and there too. Excited for more of this! |
| The first episode wasn't bad, but not interesting to me. I hope in the future I can watch some new romance anime with adult characters. |
| That honestly wasn't too bad of an episode. I was definitely expecting a little more crazy from Sayu, but she's relatively mellow with the lewd |
 |
| ok.. WAS NOT expecting so much fanservice... instant top 3 anime of the season, plus super kawaii girl<333 but my man should have smashed on the spot |
   |
| well somehow this ended being way less creepy than Koi ..lol both on the same day but i really don't want it to be trashy like how it was at the start with a H doujin tier opening plot ,right now MC seems like a good duder saying all the right things despite still taking her in but i'm not on board calling it wholesome just yet because as long as their relationship doesn't go down that way granted she turned into a housewife which in it's self is a problem of fantasy but eh |
 |
| Project no9's art style isn't bad but I'm not 100% sold on this. But I'm hoping it'll improve since there's still some potential |
 |
| what the heck a lot of people hated this episode? i thought it was amazing like a romance where the mc isnt a total creep i feel like this will def be amazing |
| I've read the manga, and this is one of the most anticipated anime this season. Yoshida is a fucking gentleman, Sayu is cute, Gotou is hot; everything is just perfect. |

AnonymousGuy9 said: I heard the anime will adapt all the LN volumes. So probably no season 2.They pulled off the starting of the adaptation better than I expected. This anime will definitely gather attention in the upcoming episodes Since the LN is ending with the soon to be released vol 5 I wonder if they'll make a season 2 or a movie to completely adapt it |

| I've been waiting for this novel to get adapted now here it is :) must protect Sayu at all cost!! |
 |
| I don't want to come off as preachy or prudish, but this shit might as well be called "Red flags everywhere: the anime". Because there's no way that, in real life, a scenario like this wouldn't end up with someone either robbed, assaulted, killed, imprisoned, or a combination of all of them. |
Ahora, triste en la pendiente, solitario y ya vencido yo me quiero confesar Si aquella boca mentía el amor que me ofrecía, por aquellos ojos brujos, yo habría dado siempre más  |
| Oof I guess we're off to a great start to the fiery spice of the season - honestly it did kinda exceed my expectations to this adaptation. Art and animation's lookin crisp on point and Sayu's lookin good as well just like in the manga. Looking forward to what's coming next week from this. Damn tho even tho it's just been the first ep and ratings might not be the most accurate thing to look upon rn, this show's sitting comfortably at a 7.80 and that kinda surprises me ngl considering how controversial this premise can be for some people out there - not that I'm not satisfied with that tho :') |

| That girl is thicc,that is the most important thing for me. plot is good but I also want to see good fanservice in this anime. She was cute when she was seducing |

jjashael said: This is exactly what I had in mind and why I truly liked this first episode. For once, a romantic, sensual premise where the male isn't a rotten piece of shit just thinking about fulfilling his immature sexual desires no matter the cost. He clearly told the teenage girl he isn't a saint too, it's just that he isn't a piece of shit. I hope this will continue on a mature path and not revert to cliché easiness.what the heck a lot of people hated this episode? i thought it was amazing like a romance where the mc isnt a total creep i feel like this will def be amazing |

Snackgamers557 said: I have met plenty of girls with a big count and they are not as normal as her. They are all extremely fcked up in the head. And they did it willingly not because they had to survive so I am guessing that girl's case should be worse. That is girls should avoid casual sex, and make sure the guy wants something long term with them before jumping into bed, at least in my opinion. nightcrawlercyp said: she is not normal, at least it will be shown around eps 5 or 6 that she's have traumatized which makes her disrespect herself, and the reason why she easily offers her body to the man she meets, she experiences trauma that causes her to always be afraid to have sex with someone.there is a big road between not being a virgin and being a prostitute with numbers probably reaching 3 digits. Honestly while I hate the backstory and I consider being unrealistic for a girl to be so normal after so many relationships... or not full of stds ... first episode was not that bad NicawatchesAnime said: nightcrawlercyp said: I do not want it to go like this because she is a prostitute but regarding being creepy that is feminist indoctrination. Until the 1900s it was the norm for young girls 15-25 to marry guys 25-45 . Is because biology. For making children women contribute with much more than men and a body that is old (over 30) and exhausted from full time job makes the chances of her having a healthy child small. On the other hand the man needs to support the family and take responsibility for major decisions so a man is good to be over 30. Exception for that rule would be if you were extremely poor or extremely rich. Then both would marry young. I'm sorry but there is so much wrong with that shit you just said 1) She is not a prostitute. She is a teenage girl who ran away from home, has no money, and thought that selling her body to get a roof over her head and food was the only solution to survive. That is not a prostitue. Abd even if she was, there's nothing wrong with that, and she is still a human and worthy of parental love. 2) If you haven't noticed yet, we live in 2021, the Anime seems to play around our time too. Nowdays being in a sexual/romantic relationship with a minor when you're an adult is considered pedophilia 1) selling her body for material gains , how is she not? And is not the only solution to survive, just the simplest for a woman. Yes there is a lot wrong with that and yes everyone is still a human. About being worthy of love it is debatable. 2) we are in current year, so fcking what? Is not an argument. About the second question depends on the age. If you did not know the laws of your country is legal for women to marry around (15-16) provided a legal guardian agrees. By age 16 a girl (unlike a boy) is as fully matured mentally as she will ever be. Especially considering how baby formula forces the female body to mature much faster than it should and feminizes male bodies. Also is interesting how in the eyes of the law an old woman having sex with an immature boy is not considered pedophilia. |

| unlucky MC he is not in the hentai universe |
 |
| that was unexpected. in a very much nice way. someone has recommended me the manga before but all they've mentioned was "cute girl." "highschool and old guy lives in the same house" etc which just weirded me out. but even though those Are true its not what i expected. they aren't sexualizing the hs girl and the main guy is actually decent lmao. not even once was there any jokes abt him getting h word over her. its pretty interesting, ill definitely stay tuned |
Marjan_Hellsing said: Honestly I came into it expecting one of two things: either a straight up hentai or some “wholesome” twist. I see now they’re trying to be “wholesome,” even though it’s still coming off as trashy and boring to me. It’s supposed to be too early to say, though I can already see myself giving it a 2/10 stars. The only way that this could’ve been good in the first place was if they went full on soft and cutesy, or if they did something similar to scums wish. Honestly, I was really hoping they were gonna take the second route, but right now this is more of a “Uwu, are you and adult man who dreams of grooming a cute high school girl? I got just the thing for you!” I mean to be fair I suppose it could also cater to high school girls, but I myself am not really into it. The guy’s not my type, as of now at least. And I mean come on, let’s not pretend like they aren’t obviously going to get together and that this isn’t gonna turn into some “special” material. Side note: I saw someone calling this a dumpster fire, though while I don’t think it’ll be good, I don’t think it will qualify as “dumpster fire.” It’ll probably be as interesting as Uzaki Chan. Thank you for making this comment absolutely meaningless by throwing buzzword of the year in the bold part. Seriously, if anyone thinks telling someone to value oneself more, and trying to give some moral compass is grooming, then I think every parent should be considered sexual predator, since when raising us, they teach us set of values and morals. But hey, it's called GROOMING now. FFS, I swear, people are becoming more and more retarded every year, just throwing words for the sake of it. |

| right after I saw this anime post on the list and saw the PV for some reason I had a feeling this anime would be a little controversial but after seeing the first episode I didn't know if this anime would be safe or not, but somehow the story and its characters reminded me of a doujinshi but I hope this anime doesn't lead there |
 |
| Wow this anime is different than I expected. It's a fun show, interesting plot and decent characters. I just hope that they won't screw something up in the end. |

But I will see what will happennightcrawlercyp said: all I can say is just see if you think she is normal, everything will be answered, her mental disorder is quite severe since she doesn't care about herself anymore, the MC is trying to heal the girl so that she can respect herself more, the story is more focused on how she changes herself in order to become an ordinary high school student and MC helps her.I have met plenty of girls with a big count and they are not as normal as her. They are all extremely fcked up in the head. And they did it willingly not because they had to survive so I am guessing that girl's case should be worse.

Ok I literally do not care about the German marriage law, if you're under 18 and marry a over-20-year-old you're a pedophile to me. As a woman I feel kind of really fucking offended by the shit you're saying by the way. Not only are you slut-shaming girls that just want to have sex, you're practically also saying that women only exist to give birth and that's all. |

Being a slut is a self destructive behavior that hurts both you and those around you on the long term. Why shouldn't we shame it? About the other part I never said women only exist to give birth. What I am saying is that women's main function is tp give birth and raise children and if a society does not want to die out at least 70% of women should put marrying and having kids on first place and have at least 3 kids. |
