But, I don’t think that the majority of the audience of the show will get that. The funniest thing for me was a Hajimme no Ippo reference when Nagatoro used Mashida’s style. Just not often enough to actually justify watching the show. Same goes for the characters, yes they are weak but at least at times, they can be funny or cute. In it’s simplicity and repetitiveness it is at least lighthearted, easy to follow and the pace is at least good enough to the point that you don’t fall asleep and I it has cute little ending that is not dissapointing. That being said the story for what it is isn’t unbearable. Never mind the rest of Nagatoro’s friends that are even more non-plausible and unlikeable than she is. No one can probably empathize with those two, and I can’t imagine anyone sympathizing them as well, I mean, if the fuckin manipulative sadistic abusive young black widow or the masochistic gutless 3 unpopular guy appear to be likeable characters for you then I don’t know what to say… maybe it’s my problem. There is no story, no tension, no stakes, no plot, no pace, there is nothing to keep you here, only the characters, and this show at least for me doesn’t work. Here’s the thing though, in order for comedy to work (and same pretty much goes for romance and drama) you have to either sympatize the characters or empathize with them (or both ideally). It wants to be funny more than anything else. So, I believe this one is classified as a rom-com. Supposedly she likes him for whatever reason, she tortures the living shit out of him as a way to manifest her interest in him, or something like that I guess. It’s about an introverted student, meeting an extroverted younger female student.

Out of the shows I watched (that I wouldn’t normally watch), this one was the best, or to be precise the least terrible. Romance and romcoms ain’t my cup of tea, yet I dove into a couple of shows this season with no prejudgments.

3S review no.40 (short, simple and sweet/salty/spicy)Īs part of my retarded self’s decision to try out some stuff this season that I wouldn’t watch otherwise, I tried out this one.

I dont like the new tinkle comics idia
