I thought the show was going to be special considering how overhyped it was. It simply turned out to be a well-animated yet extremely generic romcom with not even a lot of "comedy" to it. Male MC is another boring self-insert type. The same spineless, unfunny, gets nervous-round-the girls type that are so boring. Meanwhile the female MC is everyone's unrealistic dreamgirl. Of course, the story revolves around cosplaying, which basically gives the male and female mc a situation to be "together." I think the show's overhype is thanks to this premise around cosplaying since it is also a hobby that a lot of anime ... fans enjoy as well.


Anyway, I sat through the 12 episodes, waiting for something funny or genuinely romantic to happen. But nothing. Just shy boy and confident girl just going around in the usual annoying circle of "will he-will she" trope.

I am quite a beginner for anime so forgive me if I am a bit enthusiastic as I make this review. I just had to make an account to say that this is a wonderful anime and I'm glad to have seen it. The overall slow romance was actually enjoyable to watch because of the character's interaction with each other as well as the sort-of realistic mindset that they had that I can relate because I was also awkward and shy when I was young. Seeing Adachi overcome her weaknesses and Shimamura growing and realizing stuff before our eyes kept me hooked and rooting for ... them. The ending was just perfect IMO. It got me all emotionally attached to both characters that I just had to re-watch the whole show immediately. Adachi was such an endearing character and Shimamura is just as cute, they are so perfect for each other. I'm actually looking forward to reading to finish up the story after this.



10/10 anime.


Hope we get a season 2!
