Also, I should say that it's not that the "entire body" of students is against the merger, it's that "the entire school has not accepted" or "not everyone in the school has accepted", meaning some are opposed -- and her in particular. You get the impression from Airi's comment that this might have been something her mother decided "on a whim", and she just launched into it without warning, not giving people a chance to react or adjust. Change is hard.

Well i hoped for Airi to be the type with the happy personality, but a tsundere right in the first episode? Guess they are following the guidebook that in a harem there must be girls with different personalities, and that all will somehow eventually fall for the same guy.

That's how a harem works basically but did seem kinda strange that Airi would be blunt like that after how kind she was. Maybe her anger towards this transition has strongly affected her judgement.

It's been a long time since I last watched an anime, but after reading the catch word of "sugary-sweet romance" I had to look at it .
Anyway: The first impression + episode was quite lovely. Sakuna was simply cute and may have the potential to rival Sana (Ranma Tensei) with it . Airi seems okay, I assume her personality will change depending on wether the characters are in the school or not (as in normal/nice when in town and harsh when in school); at least it would be for me acceptable. The maid was fun with her surprise of Shingo's "tadaima". Poor teacher though, being rushed with a sudden school merger . Then opening is quite catchy and sounds well. |

She wasn't being mean to Sakuno/Shingo specifically in that scene after all, she came there to address to whole lot of the test students - to make a statement and make it clear how she, and apparently the student body, feels about the proposed merging. She didn't seem to be in the best of moods either, coming straight from a public argument with her mother, who obviously doesn't agree with her daughter on the matter, something which would likely upset her a good deal. All in all, while it does offer a contrast to the personality she showed earlier, the circumstances are quite different. Even kind people can show fangs when they feel their personal space being invaded, and she was in irritable mood to start with due to the conflict with her mother. Coupled with the fact she was there to deliver the message to the new students that they aren't welcome, I can see why she would go in rather psyched up. (Though realizing Sakuno and Shingo are standing in front of her obviously knocked the wind out of her for a while. Not enough to deter her from delivering the message she had set out to deliver, but she's clearly not all bad )

Pardon me then, but is that still not tsun-ing? In part at least. Perhaps this is different in that we get to see her dere side first instead of the other way around.

Though, Airi didn't really impress me with her 180 either. I say hit on the principal. I like the hot older chicks (that may be because I'm a bit older myself, though). :P The maid really made me laugh, too. Something about the outgoing genki girls that I enjoy.

Possibility of an incest in this one. But with Airi stepping in the game, it could simply be a love triangle since the other candidates don't seem to have a strong impact on our main protagonist.

Nice start, and I agree with some that one cannot consider Airi a tsundere based on this episode. She was clearly ill at the fact that her school had to go on a test run at being co-ed and was highly against it. Shingo and Sakuno just happened to be one of the people in the test run.

Yeah, Airi seemed really disoriented at the fact that the nice people she met yesterday just happened to be the test run students that she strictly went against. Mixing her beliefs with friendships was a hard choice, but she still blurted out that she stands with her beliefs over a co-ed school. Hopefully our main protagonist will be able to help Airi cope with this issue.
That's what I got from her face expression atleast.

As for Sakuno ... *shrugs* who knows - I wouldn't call it incest to start with, and at least the first episode didn't give me the impression she harbors romantic feelings for Shingo. Granted, they seem very close and get along well, so that is always subject to change, especially with other potential love interests stepping up to the plate, but as far as episode 1 itself goes It didn't quite feel like potential "incest". Though hey, could be me.
