Ah yes, another horrendous production by Doga Kobo. Ain’t expecting much from the studio that agreed to adapt Shikimori, you know… only such a studio could adapt this shit. From a grown ass man simping for some random idol to Kana just obsessing over Aqua, I really can’t recall a moment where I enjoyed this shit. Fuck, even my dad said “what the fuck are you watching” after seeing me watch this on my monitor!

If we’re going to talk about the story that left even Pops bamboozled, it basically involves an idol simp doctor and his patient who been simping for the same idol get ... reincarnated as the kids of the idol they’re both simping for. Sure, the idea of “fans of an idol living as the kids of her” sounds nice, but why the fuck did you kill Ai? Why the hell, in all of a sudden, the story turned into a drama story? Ain’t expecting much from the author of Scum’s Wish though (don’t come @ me saying “Mengo is just the illustrator”, that guy definitely has a hand in the writing as well, don’t get me started on the manga).

I generally do enjoy drama, but unnecessary drama? Yeah, I don’t fuck with that shit. Killing off Ai really didn’t feel right, and I believe it was unnecessary. But anyway, the revenge arc may be exciting, I said, and kept on. Yet oh boy, wasn’t it horrible…

The way Aqua sees girls for example, is horrible. He generally sees all them girls as tools to achieve what he needs (see the reason he saved Akane). I mean, he was fucked in the head from the start, but I mean, what much can you expect from an idol simp like him?

I ain’t saying shit about Ruby, she’s just a girl chasing her dreams, and I fully respect that. But her mom, oh my god… I believe that Ai fully deserved getting rekt. She’s just “a crunchy hoe” like the Turkish trap metal artist Murat “13 Killoki” Kafkas said. All them lies she told, all the things she said, ran through not her head, but her abdomen, haha, GET REKT BITCH! “Now burn baby, burn!” -Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban

The storytelling, oh my god, how do you even manage to get a simple premise expand into something so deep that you just get lost? As I already mentioned, the way the drama was written really felt like it was just added in after everything was done. It really feels like it was just going to become a chill slice of life anime involving the story of an idol and her children, and that would be WAY better than whatever this is. The single mother raising them children, maybe finding a stepdad for them, that can be a good way to add some romance, and maybe even their children finding romance. The whole drama thing really feels unnecessary.

The art would be the only reason anyone would watch this to be honest. But I mean, even Rent-a-Girlfriend has a horrible story and good art, so…

I really don’t know how to criticize the voice acting in an unbiased way, as Saori Ohnishi is my favorite VA, and she stars here. But yeah, can’t say shit about how she fits Yuki, as I didn’t see her that much. But yeah, Ohnishi is a solid VA. Megumi Han did a good job at portraying the silliness of Kana, and so did Manaka Iwami with Akane’s depressing portrayal. This gon be a long ass list if I list all the voice actors, so I believe that all actors fit all characters pretty well.

Overall, I really can’t recall a moment I enjoyed this series. I’m watching this for critical purposes, and oh boy, I really don’t wanna do this, but hey, for criticism’s sake it is…

“And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your hearts. Verily in that are signs for those who reflect.” -The Holy Qur'an, Surah Ar-Rum, Verse 21

This romance anime in particular really feels like a breath of fresh air between all of them romance animes, especially the ones that somewhat featured gal characters, such as Hajimete no Gal or Kimizero, which were both ass, like, Kimizero legit featured "a crunchy hoe" and Hajimete no Gal's male MC was "a faggot like Majnoun to ... die for a pussy", if you know what I mean. Given all this shit, I was pretty relieved when I saw this anime which featured a bold and fashionable girl and a guy who doesn't get phased by that shit. The fact that it also somewhat tackles how human relations form makes it feel more natural, and thus stand out. How does it tackle how human relations form? Well, let's get started with the story then, shall we?

So basically, there's this "marriage practical" thing that rolled out as a lesson in a school, and you ain't graduating for shit if you fail that lesson. For this lesson, a random boy and a girl gets "matchmade" i.e. they get chosen to live together as a couple and our male MC, Jirou Yakuin, wants to get paired with his childhood friend, Shiori Sakurazaka; and our female MC, the fucking bombshell Akari Watanabe, wants to pair with her crush, Minami Tenjin. Yet their fates are sealed in a different way. Jirou matches Akari, and Shiori matches Minami. Remember that quote from Surah Ar-Rum in the beginning? The one that goes like "...He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them."? Considering this, Shiori wasn't the one who Jirou could dwell in tranquility with, as she REALLY is inconsistent with her words.

Take what she said to Jirou in the first episode for example. "I feel nervous around other boys." yeah bitch you were legit having the TENJIN TASTE OF DEEZ NUTS in your fucking mouth on your first day with Minami. I'm telling you, this bitch be some Yui Kashii level skank.

Well, our bombshell Akari on the other hand, is actually the innocent one, despite being the one who's more sexually-charged. She's seen to be a little clueless about love, as she can be seen talking about Minami as "peak of humanity" and blushing like hell around him; whereas with Jirou, she doesn't give a fuck about her appearance, she doesn't give a fuck about what he sees, she really doesn't give a fuck. "What is this if this isn't love, huh?" She doesn't know, and later realizes that this isn't love, but rather, some pointless infatuation. That's at least some positive on our side.

Our boy Jirou "can't walk because of [the weight of] his balls", as they say. He can be seen kissing Akari on the lips on the first episode, which is some crazy development in this genre. This ain't something his friend, Sadaharu Kamo, can dare.

Like, he be so down bad that he be working part-time on summer for some rolls on a fucking gacha game, him playing gacha games is one thing, but him working for that? Nah, bro be down bad for REAL! But I mean, since this isn't an incel bait, there must be some sort of "just like me" characters, rjght?

I ain't saying shit about the art, as it's totally stunning; from the character design to the scenery, I can say that it looks so pretty it legit made my expectations higher than Snoop Dogg on that kush.

Overall, I can say that this anime is definitely worth your time, there's no unnecessary bullshit, the fanservice actually does fit the plot, so no random fanservice which is an added plus, it solely focuses on development between the couple and I'm telling you, there's HELLA room for development unlike another anime title who features a pink-hair girl with Saori Ohnishi as the VA. Definitely a title that a lot of manga artists should take notes from, as we really need titles like this around.

Look, I ain’t got no problems with strong women in romance anime and shit, in fact I believe that we should have more of that, but this straight up feels like some propaganda material serving the feminist agenda or something. Like, the power dynamics are hella off, even nasuo, the artist for the OP, addressed this by saying 「なんか僕よりも彼氏みたい」which roughly translates to “you look more like the boyfriend than me”. You get what I’m saying now?

The story goes like this, Izumi Yuuki, who’s been under an umbrella while God was making luck rain from the sky, pulls Miyako Shikimori, the baddest girl one can ask ... for. Yet both of them have some screws loose for real. Miyako be trying to be more feminine, as if her looks ain’t enough for that. My friend Ediz (a.k.a BRUHLAS) actually had some shit to say about this. “Bro I’d get it if her hair was short, but which tomboy has long ass hair like this?” And I agree with him, because that bomboclaat hair of hers is longer than then Hindu goddesses, like what the hell? Izumi’s case is already obvious, so I ain’t saying shit about that.

The only thing that was nice about this bomboclaat anime is the “gang”, i.e. Inuzuka and the others. They were legit entertaining and that’s one of the reasons why I wanna give some extra points, the other being the fact that Miyako has pink hair. Since we don’t really have room for development as the ship has already sailed, the only thing that gets the story going is Izumi’s god damned luck and Miyako just trying to deal with all that shit.

Speaking of Miyako trying to deal with all that shit, let’s talk about the realism of this whole saga. I’m telling you, if a couple had Miyako and Izumi’s dynamic and the situation, then the girl would most likely dump the boy, I’m not saying she’d break up or shit, she’d fucking DUMP him. But hey, the author be simping for some V-Tuber ass that is virtual, as the name implies, so no wonder why he can’t write something realistic.

We can actually see Izumi try to grow some balls, yet his attempts fail miserably by his bad luck. Take Izumi trying to carry Miyako on his back during the fireworks festival episode. I vaguely remember it as I watched this shit way back in December 2022, but my boy straight up got VIOLATED by that bad luck over them stairs.

Although I ain’t gonna lie, Izumi’s mom be bad as fuck, yet again, his dad wouldn’t normally be able to pull someone like her, if he wasn’t actually hot back in his youth which we have no bomboclaat idea about. It’d be nice to see Motoko and, what was Izumi’s dad’s name again? Whatever, it’d be nice to see an arc that covers how their parents met, like in Horimiya. Although, I must say, I think this ability to pull bitches despite having the worst bomboclaat luck is genetic in Izumi’s fam right there. After all, the author gotta live his pipe dream somehow, right? Lastly, like ravend, a Turkish rapper, said, “may all them chicks burn, fuck the firefighter who gives them water” if all them chicks gonna be like Miyako is.

I wanna start off with a quote from Teoman “ravend” Taşçı’s song “Amcık Mecnun Amcık Kerem” which contains lyrics that expresses my feelings for this anime pretty well. “Am I a faggot like Majnoun to die for a pussy? Fuck Layla, and fuck Majnoun as well!” and yeah, the “…die for a pussy” is low-key true for the main character of the story, Junichi Hashiba, whose determination for that coochie is so unknown, it’s a whole mystery.

The story lacks substance, other than the ulterior message of “do not think with your dick in romance, romance isn’t just about sex” yet that message is mostly ... outweighed by the fan-service which is mostly used for incel bait. I actually do like that part, yet the fan-service was really a turnoff for me. Let me talk about the story a little. Basically, the whole class is making out and the four nerds of the class, Junichi Hashiba, Minoru Kobayakawa, Shinpei Sakamoto and Keigo Ishida, are the only ones excluded from this. Frustrated by this, the “gang” decides to read some porn mags, and then the main girl, Yukana Yame, sees the gang, and especially Hashiba, reading them porn mags. The gang, upon seeing Yukana, says “someone should fuck this girl” and guess who they chose for this “sacred mission”? Yeah, of course Hashiba. After that, he straight up gets on HIS KNEES AND PROSTRATES IN FRONT OF HER! LIKE WTF- OH MY GOD! Anyway, their relationship after this seems like it’s sailing smoothly, but then, a wild skank appears, or more like, multiple wild skanks appear.

Meet Ranko Honjou, the first skank. She’s a lesbian who loves Yukana, yet she tries her best to seduce Hashiba so that Yukana would leave him alone, since he cheated on her with her best friend. To her, she’s Yukana’s white knight, or more like, her black knight, if you know what I mean.

Our second skank, Yui Kashii, takes skanking to another level. She looks straight up innocent, like, you wouldn’t suspect shit if you saw her, at least Ranko looks low-key sus. Good luck trying to notice what type of skank she is, as she’s such a good bootlicker that she can even be able to bend them teachers to her will, nah, she’d for real take out Maria of Kimizero in a skanking competition.

Skanks aside, I think that Minoru guy should be just locked up, I mean, just take out the “u” outta his name and it spells “minor”. He legit asks “does Yame have a little sister in elementary?” when the main guy Hashiba tells the gang about the affair. BRO YOU TRYNA BE FUNNY OR WHAT, HUH? I swear to god, this guy be driving the “free candy van” all day.

As for the animation and the art quality, well, I can say that the dudes at NAZ fucked up with the character design. When I take a look at Gal-sen, another manga by the same author which I pretty much fuck with to be honest, I can’t help but think ”bro, how the fuck did Hajigyaru turn out to be like that?” Well, I guess turning the studio into them fairy chimneys doesn’t work with bringing dem fairies out, since it clearly didn’t work here.

Overall, I can say that this was the worst anime I’ve ever watched that contained at least some type of gal type of characters. I’d give it some extra points because of the message it tried to give, yet the execution was really ass, it’d deserve an 8 or 9 if they could execute it well. I wanna end this review by quoting “Amcık Mecnun Amcık Kerem” yet again. “Karam be a cunt who drills them mountains, Asli be banging here and there, it ain’t worth it for some chick, everywhere is pussy for the guy who can screw well.” Well, can Hashiba screw well? Hell nah, and that’s probably why he ended up with Yukana…

“Fuzuli went far from home chasing pussy, pussy is fresh, it heals everybody, eat kebab, drink wine, slap that watermelon-like ass, like hell you’re going to Heaven like that”
This quote from Teoman “ravend” Taşçı’s song “Amcık Mecnun Amcık Kerem” is basically the TL;DR of the whole story. The male MC of this story, Saki Hananoi, goes some unbelievable lengths just for some coochie, just like the Fuzuli guy in Taşçı’s song did.

Taşçı’s song aside, I actually had pretty high expectations from this story, probably because the synopsis is low-key deceiving and the VA for the main female is Kana Hanazawa, who fell off HARD ... with this role. I mean, the art was a little off, but it wasn’t an eyesore, you know… but yeah, boy weren’t my expectations SHATTERED!

Let’s get started with the expectation-shattering story now. The story starts with the main female, Hotaru Hinase, witnessing the male MC, Saki Hananoi, break up with his girlfriend. Saki, heartbroken, sits under the rain, where Hotaru hands him an umbrella. Saki, thinking “Oh my god, she’s my soulmate…”, confesses to her, and naturally she rejects Saki. Yet when asked for the reason, she didn’t say “I don’t even fucking know you” like any reasonable person would say. She renders herself in a pretty exploitable state by saying “I don’t know what love is…” and then Saki replies “just try it out with me” that’s some shit a simp ass guy would say! That’s why bro ain’t lasting with them bitches he pulling, you know…

The way the characters are written are pretty much appalling for me, especially people other than Hotaru, who are pretty much written like viruses to infect Hotaru and change the way she thought. Take Saki for example. Bro, isn’t he a master manipulator… she legit offered something he made Hotaru think she needed and bent her to his own will, that’s some mastermind level shit right there. He’s either a manipulative motherfucker or just a guy fiending for pussy, who offered her this so that he can at least get some companionship for a while; although I think the latter is more likely. Hotaru just straight up looks like a character to cover the need for a cute girl, although, the studio still fucked up while trying to render her as cute as possible. If she was blonde, then I can’t imagine the amount of “dumb blonde” comments we would get under Aniwave or some shit. Hibiki, the fucking virus, is just a filthy ass simp. Sister watched so much shoujo anime that her brain just shrank. After all, the “shou” in shoujo stands for “small”… by the way, since these are the characters we mostly see, I could only include them, I couldn’t do thorough analysis of the others, but I believe they were probably written equally as shitty.

As for animation and art, yeah, even freaking Sasakoi has better animation. Bro like, what type of bomboclaat character design is that, I swear to god, even A-1 Pictures didn’t draw chins this sharp on Solo Leveling, and at least the chins on Solo Leveling were only for some specific characters like Sung Jin-woo or Cha Hae-in, bros be drawing everybody with the same sharp ass chin…

The only thing this anime has going for it is just soundtracks, and that is, only a few of them. I legit can’t think of a soundtrack that stands out. I already skipped the OP and the ED because they weren’t up my alley to be honest. But also, every fucking anime has nice soundtracks, so…

Overall, I believe this anime isn’t worth wasting your Thursday evening on. I’d rather watch something like Wind Breaker to see some action and stuff instead of watching some pussy fiend hit on a gullible ass chick.

"A crunchy hoe, I spat in her mouth..." these words uttered by the Turkish trap metal artist Murat "13 Killoki" Kafkas is enough to describe Runa, the main girl of the series.

As you may have noticed from my opening, I see this series in a kind of negative light to be honest. It's basically a fake Hajimete no Gal (which I don't like either to be honest) where the main guy, Ryuuto Kashima, is set up by his friends to confess to this one popular girl, Runa Shirakawa, and SOMEHOW the girl accepts the confession. If this isn't incel bait, then I don't know what ... the fuck is. And also, despite this series being a fake Hajimete no Gal, bro Yukana at least had some dignity; this Runa girl doesn't even have that! 💀

Like who the hell would freaking FUCK ON THE FIRST DATE? You may have seen it already, but if you don't know, yeah, they went home and Runa tried to fuck on the first date. You get what I'm saying when I said "at least Yukana had some dignity"?

Runa being a skank aside, we also have another, more heavy-duty skank called Maria Kurose, who is siblings with Runa, but later took her mom's surname after divorce. Yeah, no wonder why they're acting like this, they're both fatherless after all... but yeah, at least Runa didn't think of stealing her sister's boyfriend. Maria, who Ryuuto liked in middle school, rejected Ryuuto since she didn't know "what love was" and decided to steal him from Runa after seeing Runa got him and feeling inferior to Runa yet again because of this. Bro, Turkish clan dramas with them sheikhs and shit don't got this much drama in it!

Also, remember when I said "it's basically a fake Hajimete no Gal"? Yeah, we also have a heterosexual Ranko Honjou over here. Her name is Nicole Yamana and with the way she acts, she straight up resembles Ranko Honjou. "I don't wanna see Runa cry." sounds familiar?

Animation quality, well, is average, as expected from a series like this. I don't recall any bad moments but I don't recall any impressive animation moments either. Well, it's a romance anime after all, if you don't push it to make it bad, like they did with Sasakoi, then it'll most likely be just fine.

Soundtracks are impressive to be honest, as a music producer, it sometimes inspired me to sample that shit to cook up. Such great soundtracks wasted on an anime like this, for fuck's sake...

Yet another youth romantic comedy is wrong, as I expected.
