...well. Right from the first episode, I knew what I was in for. A romcom that was gonna drag on for however long it aired on a will-they-won't-they-confess being the base for its story. I've seen plenty of romcom anime that bring their own ideas / unique characters to the table. Ones that actually go somewhere with the ships, or ones that use the fact that the romance doesn't progress as the base for some creative jokes (ex: GSNK). This? This....?
The romance doesn't progress, and it feels unbearably obligatory, as if making it go somewhere would mean the end of the show. The countless
...
fakeout confessions make the process that much more exhausting.
Side note: Why does Usami love someone whose hobbies she basically hates? He's obsessed with anime, and she barely (if at all) likes it. I haven't finished this to find out, but I'm betting it's one of those "he was so nice that one random time" thing. Usami, just....calm down. Let the guy draw anime fanart.
It's kind of funny that both Sakura Chiyo and Usami Mizuki are voiced by the same seiyuu. The contrast between the self-aware and hilarious parody of the shoujo genre and the unaware shamble of shoujo tropes is made more evident because of this.
The comedy never got any semblance of a laugh out of me. It feels oddly....dry?
All in all, there is one, and only one thing I walked away from this liking.
The opening.
