I'm six episodes in and I just see a lot of cliche and overly sappy writing. I get that miscommunication is a thing but when it leads to some fight in the bathroom about people spreading rumors, how am I supposed to take it seriously? That whole conflict should've taken half an episode to be resolved and not lead to some declaration of love for people willing to give you the time of day.

The NPCs are the absolute worst part of this show because they're either incessantly twerking for Kazehaya when he does as much as breathe or they're coming to stupid conclusions about Sawako.

Is this just going to be a cringe and melodramatic session all the way through because I'm having mixed feelings so far.

I’d say if you’re not at least interested by now, you might as well drop it. The miscommunication trope is used pretty heavily in the show ngl and it can be frustrating. Especially second season.

yea it's melodramatic throughout the entire series, which isn't inherently a bad thing, Shoujo-romance has usually been this way in the 2000s.. Kimi ni Todoke is way different from bs romance nowadays like Tomo-chan or Miss Nagatoro lol

This show is mostly a school-SoL that focuses on friendship, with slow but great romance. If you're not attached to anything happening whatsoever, then just drop it, every character's development is worth the watch imo

If you don't like it this far in, then honestly, you should just drop it. It's one of those anime where if you like what it's doing, then you'll continue to see that, and if you don't like what it's doing, then you'll be disappointed by expecting it to change. As someone who thinks this is a 10 out of 10 anime, I can honestly say that you probably are better off just dropping it right now.

Definitely drop it. The second season leans even heavier on the miscommunications and assumptions leading to drama. It gets really annoying.

@Euroqean Being better than Miss Nagatoro and Tomo Chan is not as impressive as you think it is lol. If you're comparing it to modern romance anime, it has to be compared to YLIA, Fruits Basket, BGS, Wotakoi, Kaguya, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but Horimiya is also in that bracket as well.

Well, it's sad because I don't like dropping things.... I'll probably watch two more episodes today and then move on to the next one.

If you don’t like it now, drop it cause miscommunication gets a lot worse later on lol.

That’s a shoujo for you. I think this anime is vehemently bad because apparently miscommunication + bad male lead = a good romance.
The right mindset when watching an anime is hoping that it will break your top 10

6 episodes in for a 25 episode anime is enough for you to know if you like it or not, if youre really not feeling it then just drop it, nothing is gonna happen just cause you stop watching it. i kinda get what youre saying tho, i got a little frustrated at some parts too

This show is absolutely one of my favs, and I’d say to keep watching it, but tbh if you don’t like it so far, then probably drop it, it’s pretty consistent in its writing

bro if you think s1 is melodramatic then i dont know how to let you know s2 is even worse in that regard, s2 pretty much is abt 1 misunderstanding that could have been solved with a talk between the main characters.

I love this show and the personality of the charaters. They discover a lot about themselves and how to act in relationships. But if the miscomunication annoys you, you should drop it

Fruits Basket is not even modern. Kaguya is overrated, Wotakoi is fine but no more. No comments on Toximiya.
