| I have a lot to say about this first episode but I’ll keep it short: The art is incredibly good, like wow! But the main characters already annoy me, at least the main guy is funny but he also feels creepy to me at the same time. I just wish this would be a different romance than your usual ones, not one where one is already in love while the other barely knows of their existence. I do have to say, I am already rooting for that pink girl. I love her |
| A few minutes in. The main character walks into the gymnasium. A stray ball sucker punches him in the face. It is thrown by the girl he secretly is in love with. Then the girl gives him a chocolate to make up for the damage, like he's some kindergartener. A few minutes later. He's alone with the girl. He acts like the situation is the second coming of the Christ. She sneezes. He literally throws his scarf at her. The girl has no idea he even exists. She doesn't even know his name, but learns it from the scarf's tag, on which his mother wrote his name with handwriting, like he was some kindergartener. A few minutes later. The guy is staring at the girl from a distance. His childhood friend or whatever comes and says "She’s way out of your league, dude." All of these happen in the first 10 minutes. All of the scenes in the first 10 minutes exist to remind us of this: that he's a child. Now. Let’s be perfectly clear about this, because I know some of you are about to get distracted by the chocolate. It’s not about the chocolate. It's how the scene makes him out to be some damn toddler with his hand out, waiting for a treat after a temper tantrum. It's literally Tolstoy in chocolate form. Just like how Tolstoy talks about how it's immoral to eat meat and keeps moralizing in this passive-aggressive and self righteous way, the chocolate is given with the intention of showing that she cares, but it is something that she does only to make herself feel better. She uses the chocolate as hush money, like he was some 8 year old child... It's infantilizing. He is treated like a fokin CHILD in the scene. It's meant to be about human kindness and compassion, but it's eventually only about how she feels about herself. The chocolate doesn’t fix anything. It doesn’t make the situation better. It’s sickening. It’s disrespectful. It doesn't lead to a redemption. It makes the situation worse. Yeah, we’re talking about the chocolate, but it's NOT about the chocolate. It’s not the chocolate. It’s NEVER the chocolate. It’s the way he’s being treated, the emotional infantilization. |
| Man those ugly 3d models really ruin the illusion for me. I wouldn't mind if some of the animation budget went on making these scenes more bearable. |
| Kinda felt like a ass pull at the end there, and the lad is too much of a simp made me cringe soo hard.. But fuck it, Best ship is him and the gal that is in the swim gear. |
 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. |
| the charakter and the plot is so beautiful i hope the story is good to in the 1st episode the author give the mc and heroine ship is already set sail |
