That's true. The intro makes the hero look like a little psycho and presents a constant confusion toward someone who's nothing like he assumes her to be, but it really doesn't take long to shift.

Picked up by HiDive and announced along with Oshi no Ko for 2023 simulcast.

And still no studio, ROFL.

Gods in his Heaven, all’s right with the world.

Shin-ei, Takagi-San director, Horie Shun as Kyou-chan. It’s alarming how on-point all that is.

I wasn't sure how it would translate but this looks quite good

Best romcom in manga at the minute. Not close.

Considering the competition, this doesn't mean much

But since you seem to really love this series, I'll give it a try.

[Guardian Enzo]

Usual YMMV disclaimers apply.

I actually think manga is pretty good romcom-wise at the moment. And a lot of them are middle school romcoms, actually. But for my coin BokuYaba is the best of the lot.

[Guardian Enzo]

By God, it looks pretty on-point.

Looks like a beautiful romance .

Yamada looks a tad too thin (everyone does really) but I'm still hyped, that looks really solid.

[Guardian Enzo]

They definitely reduced the height difference a bit too - or at least, it starts out where the manga is now, basically. But that’s a pretty trifling complaint, given how on-point it looks.

I was wondering whether it was Aoi Yuki or Reina Ueda voicing the heroine... turns out it's neither

She's a relative newcomer (Hina Youmia) but her supporting roles have been solid thus far. Its a pretty good opportunity for a breakout performance.

Yeah, I did look her up. She certainly sounds great in the trailer. I'd say the fact I mistook her for those two is already a good sign.

Spoiler:

Well, not often you start off a romcom with the protagonist narrating how messed up he is in the head as he thinks of killing his classmates and especially the class idol, though in retrospect it just sets up how much our main pair are two dorks .

Because while Yamada is quite pretty (and tall! Wow!), she's actually pretty goofy, pigging out in the library, eating rice balls and speaking with her mouth full so cutely, and scrambling on a class project in an endearing way. And Ichikawa gets to see it for himself !

Ichikawa thinks so sadistic and murderous when really he's super into the idea of Yamada having his box cutter and having held his box cutter...and knowing where his desk is. Oh yeah, she notices you buddy .

Points to Ichikawa for noticing how hurt Yamada was when nobody else did and making himself standout to take the attention away from her...even if she'd almost immediately recovered by that point. She's quite the carefree and spirited girl, that one, and Hina Yomiya plays her very well .

What I wouldn't give to have Yamada sit on my lap...even if her weight and height would probably kill my legs. But totally worth it .

I admire Kanzaki's taste for girls with meat on their bones and his interest in Hara (Aki Toyosaki!!!) and I like how Yamada was eventually able to read the room and help these two bond even if it meant her and Ichikawa doing the most fake and realistic cat noises to simulate a cat couple fighting. I guess that's their first couple moment ?

Ichikawa changing into a pitch-perfect goth outfit to shop for Yamada's modeling magazine was absolutely perfect. Although Yamada one-upped him by trying to go "incognito" while still being so noticeable in that outfit because she wanted people to notice her so she could show off how she's in the magazine and actually sign it...which does not happen. What dorks !

Ah, I see Ichikawa got some use out of that magazine (if you know what I mean) .

I wasn't expecting Nobunaga Shimazaki. I don't like Hanyo though, he was really pushy about getting her LINE contact info even though it was obvious Yamada was getting uncomfortable with his attention. Luckily Ichikawa sacrificed his bike to distract everybody and get Yamada clear, and she not only noticed but seems more interested in him now !

The Opening is a pretty serene and colorful theme, with plenty of visuals of Ichikawa and Yamada looking at each other while passing each other by, but eventually biking together! I can't wait to see these two grow close over time !

I haven't been this invested in an adaptation for a while. Promising first episode, and I really like the OP song.
