I enjoyed seeing a tough guy be a househusband. You get a wholesome misunderstood guy with a yakuza past who just wants to do ordinary home stuff. He wants a slice of life anime while everyone sees him as a gangster.

I wish there was progression in a main story but it just seems like small scenarios. Multiple small episodes packed into one are fine. As an anime-only watcher, I assume chapters are small like that so small episodes are appropriate.

The art is like an animated manga style. Panels have effects and some movement is involved like having character mouths moving. I thought the animation ... was fitting for a gag manga. I get how manga readers would be disappointed seeing the same thing as they read. Well, you're not getting high-budget animation for this type of anime. People say it's watching a PowerPoint, but it's a well-made PowerPoint at that lol. The art was unique and it doesn't detract from the story.

The Netflix English dub voices fit the characters well. I liked the sound effects for things. Although, I wasn't a fan of the opening or ending songs.

Overall, I liked the show and its comedy. Everything fits for an anime like this. Try watching an episode and see if it's to your liking since each episode is similar.

How do you imagine your ideal relationship? Possibly good communication, reassurance, affection, and making happy memories together? Mairimashita Senpai checks all of those. This manga has one of the best, strong, and healthy relationships I've seen in a manga or anime.

The story is fast-paced compared to many other romances. The two characters get together right from chapter 1. Usually, there's the "chase" or a confession many chapters later. But this manga is like, "You wrote cute song lyrics on my desk, I like you, so let's date" within a day. The story focuses on their relationship and how they handle different situations like Valentine's Day, ... amusement park date, being at home together, etc. There are plenty of sweet moments in the series.

The art is very fitting for a shoujo manga. I like that quotable dialogue, Serina's inner thoughts, or times when they are together, get a big placement on the page. Some of the art looks beautiful and memorable.

The relationship between the two characters is very strong. Other shoujo mangas have insecurities in the relationship because of misunderstandings or jealousy. However, this couple openly talks about their problems and how they're feeling at the moment. They work out their concerns which many relationships fail to do. They both reassure each other all the time in how much they like one another. As for physical affection, characters do the right amount of teasing without being forceful.

I think the only problem is that the characters aren't particularly special themselves. Like you only know them on the surface-level. Also, the side characters are there but don't matter as much; later on, they will be. Looks like that's where the manga is headed.

I looked forward to reading each chapter. I like the cute dynamic between the characters. The manga has teasing moments like a little fanservice which I liked. Overall, you will like this manga if you want to read about a great relationship. Not sure how realistic this is but you can learn from it or dream about it.

What I kept thinking is that this manga is a perfect shoujo manga due to its romance. It weirded me out at first but you learn to deal with it after the first 5 chapters, when you just can't seem to stop reading^^

Story- 8/10
Don't be fooled by the synopsis. The gender bender isn't really the main plot in this. It's sis x bro love just to warn you. Actually I think the plot would have been no different without the gender bending involved but don't get me wrong, it's still a good essence to the story; all the more reasons to why he loves her.
By ... chapter 1, their both joking about the idea of liking each other like that. But we all know that joke is heading straight for the actual thing. Does this mean this manga is a taboo? Don't worry it's unrelated incest; but still it's kind of creepy since it's still morally wrong. The main general plot of this is forbidden love and of course they want acceptance in their relationship; show it to their heart's content in front of everybody if possible.

Art- 9/10
Lovely art, no different from your typical shoujo kind of art. The girl is cute looking and the guy is hot. nuff said there~

Character - 6/10
The main reason why the rating is low because it's very unrealistic. Chihiro liked her ever since he was a little kid. Seems a little far fetched? I mean did his parents not teach him that it's just wrong to love your siblings as a potential lover? I think he loves her a little too much, well I guess this does fulfill the role of a shoujo manga since the guy is something girls would fall for and be the perfect boyfriend that would always be faithful. His persistency in her makes you wanna go "uhhh..? weirdo! awww" Or at least that's how I felt.
Ami is his sister but her character developes into loving him. Of course you would have mixed feelings about whether or not you're able to love your sibling. She gets a little indecisive but I would be pretty creeped out that all of a sudden your brother goes all goo-goo-ga-ga over you (lol did i actually say that?).
To make the plot interesting, the mangaka always has to add characters to get in the way or else the plot would come out smoothly.. who the hell wants to read that?

Enjoyment - 9/10
Ok I'm the kind of person who loves reading cheesy lines and romantic stuff. If you basically like shoujo then you should consider this. At times it can get predictable but it's generally a happy story with not much tragedy. There's not much drama as I anticipated but it was a such a cute light manga to read.

Overall 8/10
The average of all my scores turns out to be an 8 anyway; but besides that it deserves a good solid 8. Only problem it was too short. 17 chapters?! lolwut. Finished that in 5 days flat. Trust me if a manga didn't really interest me, I wouldn't read it so quickly. The last chapter ended so abruptly and it went straight to the future when some questions were still unsolved.
