Ok, I saw it coming. She is starting to fall in love with him. She was just mad he wouldn't give her any time/attention before, but now she is starting to have feelings. It's a cute show. ROFLMAO

Finally!
Someone is being reasonable about this anime. I can't believe the hate that it's getting after just ONE episode. Unbelievable!
@Yasminaa It really is kinda insane lol, I thought it was a really strong start but a lot of MAL users disagree apparently, it’s sad but this is not the first time I’ve loved a show that MAL hates, but oh well, as a romcom enjoyer I will be feasting on this, I hope you also enjoy the show!

So this finally got animated. Wasn’t that bad of a start (same with the manga, compared to the recent mid chapters)

btw best girl hasn’t arrived yet

Asahi? Tomo? Minami? Tsubomi? Anri?
Who's your best girl? Mine is Minami Shirahama. I just love her, man.
@CheliosX Tomo, but it'll be some time before we see her with this pacing

where the girl is trying to pull the guy and he couldn’t care less for once lol that’s kinda fire.

Errr, no? I mean, that WOULD have been cool, I totally agree to that part, it's just not what's happening, though? We're on episode 1 and he's pretty much head over heels for her (aka mistaking youthful horniness for love, but that's another discussion). Which is, like, not fire at all.

Oh, quite the opposite, mate. He doesn't have feelings for her. Her cuteness is just too much for him and in order to not be charmed easily or at all, he does that weird thing with him fingers and forehead to resist.
That's pretty much it. But yea, the story cause of that is meh.
It'd have been better if he wasn't affected by her cuteness at all and was just neutral or not phased at all - my thoughts 2 years ago.
If you want a read with that sorta story and engaging characters (MC and fmc included ofc) and beautiful art, check out Kuzumi-kun, Can't You Read the Room?
Trust me, it's worth the read.

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.

bro just drop it, if you don't enjoy something that you already knew you will hate, why did you watched it?

or you are stupid or kind of masochist..., or both

I never understood these plots where they say romance is forbidden. If Medaka grandfather is head of a temple where romance is forbidden. Then how was his parents born or he was born if it was not allowed.

Normal and boring first episode

From the looks of it, it won't be an anime that will have something to grab you and watch, it will probably be what the fans want... breasts and so on... honestly, it's quite annoying to see that in animes, once in a while it's normal, but most of the episode was like this...disappointing.

Either way, I'll continue to see how far it goes.

Very good beginning episode -- had a lot of fun, the way I expected this series to be! Is Mona Kawaii, hentai or kowai? Medaka is 10/10, and his chemistry with Mona is pure gold. Monk versus Nymph -- who will won?

I guess I should reword it: the story would have more potential if Medaka didn't show any interest in Mona at all, similar to what others are saying about how they'd like it better if Medaka actually disliked Mona, instead of just pretending that he disliked her

Yes, you are right and that is what I would have preferred too tbh. He'd have been cooler y'know even if he is emotionless but this resisting her charms stuff because it's getting to you right from the get go even when you're the MC? Not a good start to the story sadly.
@CheliosX Being a monk is becoming a human being at the most depurated form. So, a monk would never be a cold person...

Oh? My bad then. I thought monks could be cold to certain people. My point was that he could have been unaffected by her cuteness. You get it ofc.

Mona's narcissism level is over 9000, but I can't blame her - if everyone around you is your simp, you'll probably end up being a bit of a narcissist too. It was pretty generic, but I'm one of those who can't stop watching anime, so I'll keep watching them anyway. I'd rather Medaka be genuinely uninterested in her. Who knows, maybe she'll start liking her for other reasons, but I have a feeling the other girls might end up being more interesting than Mona.

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...

A popular high school girl tries to seduce a boy in her class who is not interested in her beauty.

Basically Medaka is resist to Mona's temptation because he is not used to hanging out with girls, besides he is also far from Tokyo. Well, it depends on how long Medaka can withstand Mona's temptation, or Mona will fall in love with Medaka, we will see.

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

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!

I don't have anything bad to say about this show so far—it delivers exactly what the synopsis promised.

The other two girls seem intriguing as well. One of them blushed noticeably when she saw the MC in his new uniform, and the other reacted amusingly to the MC offering Mona his T-shirt. I wonder what she is up to.

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!

Oof, Mona was nigh-intolerable this episode. Unless she has some character growth fast, I don't think I'll be able to take a full season of her narcissism.

Also, the way her classmates and even the townspeople revere her like a god was way too enthusiastic for me; sure, I'm okay if everyone likes her because she's gorgeous and a crowd-pleasing tease, but treating absolutely every action or word like it's the highlight of your life is wildly unbelievable to me.

Thankfully, the ending made things a little better. I think I'll be giving this show the 3 episode rule, and hopefully I'm not still repulsed by Mona's atrocious personality by the end of the third one; I want to like this show, but unless the protagonist stops being so easy to loathe, I won't be able to do it :/

this b1tch is unbearable and so narcissistic, I was hoping the male MC would crush her confidence instead we got another heir to the temple plot. I thought this would be good since many people's been waiting for this to air, so far pretty inferior to other romcom this season

Who would have thought this manga would get an anime adaptation and here we are with the first episode. As expected, Mona has always been the center of attention and charmed everyone ever since she was born and fast forward to HS. She is still the center of attention and charms everyone but one guy Kuroiwa ignores her and doesn't give her attention and seemingly not charmed by her which frustrates Mona. Listening to her internal dialogues and being frustrated about why Kuroiwa doesn't look her way is pretty hilarious. And she will go through any lengths to make Kuroiwa look her way even if the tactics involve some dirty and lewd stuff. Our MC Kuroiwa may look like a self insert generic MC but that is not the case and there's a reason as to why he's that way towards Miona. He's a monk in training and romance is forbidden and he's trying his best to resist Mona's Charms.

As much as I like the fact that Kuroiwa is not charmed by her and ignoring her, he might have already fallen for which is expected but it would be very interesting if Kuroiwa didn't actually fall for her and continued resisting her charms. Mona looks like a narcissist person who's desperate for one guy's attention when she has the attention of plenty of other guys and i think Kuroiwa sees that which is why he doesn't give her attention.

I haven't read the manga in a while but the author started adding random girls and all of a sudden it's turning into a harem which i dislike. The manga has become boring because now Kuroiwa is giving Mona a lot of attention which is to be expected but it sorts of changes the premise of the manga.

The anime is off to a decent start, pretty generic but not bad. Let's see if Kuroiwa will still be able to resist Mona's Charms
