Seihantai na Kimi to Boku

Next to Miyu Suzuki, a trendy and bubbly high school girl, sits Yuusuke Tani, a quiet and frank boy. Their interactions are brief, limited to Suzuki's unprompted random questions and Tani's succinct answers. Yet, beneath these simple exchanges, feelings of love are quietly blossoming.

Suzuki sees Tani for who he is: a straightforward boy who respects everyone equally, completely unconcerned about fitting in. Unlike Tani, she is too hung up on what everyone else thinks, desperate to keep her crush a secret. However, a slight misunderstanding leads to Suzuki confessing her feelings—and to her delight, Tani feels the same. Jittery with excitement, the young couple starts dating, embarking on a wonderful journey of friendship and love.

OPPOSITES ATTRACT
MANIC PIXIE PINK HAIRED DREAM GIRL X SHY GEEK BLACK HAIRED GUY
GOLDEN RETRIEVER GIRLFRIEND X BLACK CAT BOYFRIEND
SUNSHINE GIRL X GRUMPY BOY and so on

one of the most popular romance trope ever and NO IT DID NOT DISSAPOINT AT ALL. the fl and ml are so fun to watch and the fact that the romantic developments happen very early on like literally 2 episodes in so you don't have to keep yearning about these two getting together after 2 seasons. this is so fun, so innocent and so young love coded. probably the best romance airing this season (mind you we are getting a ... lot of romance this season)

Suzuki is such an eccentric girl, she is very gyaru adjacent and so different from Tani who is very reserved, very geek-y, very shy and to see them navigate their love for each other in ways that are so very different is a treat.

this is such a cute watch, what a shame for singles but STAY STRONG MY SINGLE PEOPLE.

Will they?
Won't they?

You bet your boots they will.

Every once in a while a school rom com anime like this graces the earth with its presence, and it is always a blessing for the cold heart, because it directly injects you with a high dose of positivity from the feel good romance.

The animation is amazing, you can tell it has a high budget from miles away, and accompanying the impressive animation is sharp visual comedy, it is rare for an anime to make me laugh, it is even rarer for an anime to make me wheeze, so big kudos to this show.

Despite having a ... just good opening song, the opening animation is one of the most creative and memorable I have ever seen, it feels like the production team actually cared and had fun with the material.

Story wise, it is not the most original, but it takes familiar tropes and aspects and makes them much better.

There is no meaningful drama or conflict to weigh the show down, instead it simply bombards you with the sweet blooming love of teenagers, which is enough to make you bite your pillow until it rips.

That being said, it is not just a mindless wholesome mess duct taped together, character development and story progression actually happen and it is noticeable, PROGRESS PEOPLE, PROGRESS, not every day can you see this in a romance anime, not even in super serious and "poetic" rom com.

The characters are lovable, I love every single character in this show, I can even relate to some of them to a degree because despite this being an obviously exaggerated high school story, there is a sense of realism in the relationships between the characters, you will notice this especially if you ever dated someone in high school or junior high school, they even capture the awkwardness and the overwhelming feeling of love to a tee.

Also, the romance between our two main characters is not the only thing this show sells, so you can rest easy in case you think it will feel dragged out.

Overall, it is definitely the best rom com this season, definitely give it a watch.

Hello I am day 1 fan of the series the day it happened to drop on the Manga Plus app, I am very happy for how my little children have been treated in this adaptation and I hope the popularity of this series expands to crazy heights!

This series is all posi-vibes! Pointless and obnoxious tension from drama that derives from a random misunderstanding BEGONE! The series follows like 2 main characters but it develops into like 3 different couples throughout the entirety of the storyline.
If you're a fan of the side characters in stuff like Durarara, THIS IS THE SAME VIBE! The side characters make ... up the lifeblood of the series AND IM SO HAPPY THAT THEY ARE VOICE ACTED ACCORDINGLY, THEY DESERVE IT SO MUCH; also I love my little chudlite son Taira and chudaughter Azuma! Please be patient with Taira though.. I promise he is a good character!

If you're not the biggest big fan of the main couple, all I will say is to keep watching because the focus dies down around them later on, but they aren't booted out of the story by any means. This series is just stable! It is comfortable and filled with healthy kids not being weird or doing things that make you want to smash the screen you are watching them from!

I like it a lot! The animation is also great and the music used is fun! The whole production so far is treating my little series with so much respect! I am a grown ass man and seeing how well they did this show made me tear up! I am biased because of this and see no way in which they could mess this show up, so I rated it a 9/10! It isn't the best thing ever, but it's really good! Brush your teeth after every meal, seriously!
