I swear I do not remember more than one man in KK. Wtf.
And honestly now. Considering the way Japanese (Otaku) viewers are it's unlikely any animation will try to derive from any of the staples, especially under the upcoming critism of worker pay and industry decline. Sigh. Really makes me sad. *CRIES ON VEXX'S MANLY CHEST.* T_T Ah my memory is slighty returning. I remember the readers didn't like it because it didn't focus on any portion of characters for long and kept switching right? The format for more than one competent protaganist should really be a much sought after concept, but that particular case of execution was lacking in proper structure. Probably too many male characters. You only need 2 not (insert number because of memory loss) that KK tried. I do hope someone attempts such an idea again sometime in the soon future. But I guess we're stuck with this stuff eh? =(

Aww, why can't Miya get an arc. As of this episode, she's my favorite.
It was a pretty interesting first episode. The animation is pretty good, and it doesn't seem to run into the really bad problems that most poor adaptations do. Although, I have to admit, he makes that ditch two years ago sound overly dramatic. |

However though the first two encounters were acceptable "it happens," even I was astonished when she played leap, whatever the crap that was on his back. That pretty much crossed the line of believable character to me. If she honestly didn't think that would attract any guy at the age they appear to me then blind me. I dunno what sort of bring up past could make her than ignorant for lack of better wording. ^ Lastly as someone said above. That stood up date scarring is over the top exaggeration. Someone needs to slap him.

With the amount we know about her at this point, I don't really think you can dismiss it as, "She's an overly friendly person who just so happens to have no shame," or whatever. Edit: Also, shame that they didn't really expand on that second guy in ef - a tale of memories. That and True Tears are the closest I've seen to a show with two main male characters. |

She wasn't interacting with him so much if we've watched the same thing. The only encounters I remember are: 1) The guy drops his bread. Any passerby that's nice would offer to help pick that stuff up. Just so happens to be her. The "your eyes are pretty part" was a bit eh. But meh. 2) Bump in the library. Standard stuff. Then you got to remember they didn't talk again for days / was it a week? But again as I said the part that comes next, even I dunno what to think. What age are they? That stuff was pretty, immature? Can't think of another word. But yeah the last 10 minutes was pretty iffy. For an "idol" any of the people around that saw that much of thought she got a screw loose. Hope rumors spread soon.

Protagonist-guy [I can't remember his name, but I can remember Nii-nii.] is probably in his second year, considering he remarked on the girl being a freshman and has a senpai. That'd place him around 16 or 17? |

Quick Q for the VN players, is there any arcs outside of the main 6 girls? Because Vol 13 has no name attached to it from the looks of it.. and 6x4=24. No Miya (imouto) or Maya (teacher) route? If there isn't maybe they might do anime original for one of them or something... Or maybe Ayatsuji who's batting last gets 6 episodes compared to everyone else getting 4?
Hard to rank the girls considering this is going in arcs... but atm.. Morishima, Kaoru and Ayatsuji are my clear favs from the main 6. |

I was doing stupid stuff like that all the time at school even right up to my last year, hell maybe even for a time afterwards, yea me and my friends were pretty immature but we didn't really care Actually reminds me we're doing leap frog once expect we weren't bending over we stood up straight trying to see if we could jump over each other, girl tried to jump over me but I stood at around 6 foot back then so lets say she didn't land so well. School boy crush is school boy crush, it comes and goes. Her "leading" him on even for a little bit would be enough for school boy crush to bloom like wild fire.

The leapfrog stuff was weird from start to finish: that high-schoolers would do it and that a girl would join in. But it was there for two reasons: to give them an oddly intimate contact, and to show her innocent and carefree attitude.
I agree with the idea that she is playing around innocently (in her own conscious mind) with (younger) guys, not thinking at all of anything further. The contrast between the guys liking picture books of women, and her liking picture books of cute dogs is meant to show her innocent attitude, I think. She seems to be a bit of a flake in her friend's eyes, and maybe we are starting to understand why. There is no reason she should be attracted to our hero, except maybe that he's nice. Maybe someone else (older) wasn't nice to her? That's as far as I can go from one episode. Sure, there are cliches here, but they are done pretty interestingly, I think. The collision in the library doesn't end with pantsu or shyness, but with her making use of him. The comments about his being nice and about his eyes were pretty original, in this anime context, it seems to me, considering that she is a senpai, way above him. I got the feeling that she is a queen, and can say anything, since she feels immune to the lower orders. Her whole character seemed fairly interesting, to me.

i haven't heard anything about it but this is going to be a total guess on my part. about 24 to 26 episodes considering they showed 6 girls at the start of the OP. 3 to 4 episodes for each since two episodes seems too short for each heroine. we'll have to see next week how they handle the pacing.

13 Volumes X 2 episodes, releasing 2 volumes per month aka a girl each month, 13th volume has no girl attached to it yet, which is why I just asked if any other girl has a route.
