Tanaka was quite cute but he was a bit of a diva at the end. Dropping ORE's all over the place like he was hot shizz.
The whole "reduction of feminine appeal" thing...

5-bread-a-day lyfe + cramming stuff into bag + ??? = UNSEXY NOO!

I don't understand how the mind of the male works.
I always think of Yuki Kaji as the pathetic pervert teenager type. I mean, I like him a lot, but he usually takes characters with uber massive uke qualities. Eren, Alibaba, Shu, Youto, Finnian, Yukine... etc. It's sort of odd for me to hear him as Tanaka dropping ore's all over the place ha XD

Never ever thought I'd begin this series, but one of my friends urged me to, and I'm glad I did. I really like this whole idea and how the love between Tanaka/Mabuchi and Futaba isn't all set early on and things don't always go smoothly, it makes it more realistic and deviates from the cliche, uneventful shoujo stuff.

Can't wait for the next episode; may even just read the whole manga through because I want to continue the story without waiting a week ;__;

Woah straight to the point with the first episode, definitely a like. Already a rollercoster of emotions with being happy they reunited but sad that they're not longer what they were in the past. :(

So far, so good. I only fear that the anime will be massively incomplete, since there is no way they will cover the whole story in 12 episodes. (Then again, I didn't think they would do that with Brynhildr in the Darkness either, and they covered over 100 chapters there... badly, but they covered them..._

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
Just a reminder that manga readers shouldn't spoil this for those of us who are anime only (thus far). Please spoiler any important plot points (or better yet don't mention them at all) that haven't been introduced in the anime yet, and don't go into any details about characters who haven't been introduced. We want to have some of the same joy of discovery that you manga readers have had with this show.
Please don't feed the trolls!

I'm impressed... that was actually really good.

Love -> parting -> change -> reunion... all in one episode! It makes me doubt they can keep the pace.

I see where this is going... time to just be yourself again and get some new/real friends.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm surprisingly pleased with this. Definitely looking forward to seeing what happened to make him believe that there's no chance for them now even though they both have feelings for each other.

Also that lunch lady ugh. I'm not a very confrontational person, but I don't think I would've been able to take such a situation standing down.

Pretty good start for a romance shoujo. The art is nice, I like the subtle coloring. Kinda reminds me of bokura ga ita.

Hmm I don't directly mind huge eyes, but here they just don't seem to fit the general art style. I'd expected to be un realistically large of course, but not half the face.

This is nice.

That another guy's fault for her to say she hates all guys. She became such a tomboy for a reason when in highschool. And that difference in his voices! Both of them changed, and he tries to act indifference to her.

ED is so nice.

The big round eyes is a typical shoujo art. I dont really see a problem with that.

That was a cute show. The whole set-up was very familiar, but it was still a fun watch. I don't know if I'll be immediately picking this up for the Summer season, but for one episode I was quite happy.

interesting start. hoping it doesn't go too smooth. needs dramas. seems really shoujo. the guy could be cool though. kinda funny she made herself unattractive on purpose but never noticed him this whole time. I'm glad it wasn't the cliche event where he transferred to her class.

This anime could be quite interesting!
It reminded me a líttle bit of Kimi ni Todoke... though I like the fact that these guys are not as shy as they were in Kimi ni Todoke.
Hm-Hm. This might be a really good anime.

While I am a manga reader, I found the first episode kind of boring; I have a better time reading it. And knowing the manga's plot twists later, I am not looking forward that much but depends where it will finish. Although I like that animation/atmosphere.

Also, not really fond of Futaba's voice actress.

I haven't read the manga, but this first episode leads me to the impression that this is a SOL shoujo. It wasn't bad in this direction really, I'm looking forward to it


Mabuchi is really giving Futaba what she deserves imo.

Oof! Was worried about Kaji Yuki as Kou, cause I could only imagine his voice from Hentai Ouji and Brothers Conflict. But he's doing very well. In fact he seems to fit better than Futaba's voice actor.

Can someone explain to me why didn't she react to him not showing up for their date then suddenly disappearing the next day with even a goodbye? Even if he heard she hated guys, that was totally wrong of him to stood her up. I would've bitched slapped his face if I ever saw him again.

Follows a lot of the same standard romantic shoujo type of stuff we're/you're accustomed too which is why I have a love-hate relationship with these kinds of animanga.
I guess these are the 'safest bet' type of manga to animate yet none of these seem to get sequels...

It looks so gorgeous though.

He's doing well but only because I like this deeper tone of his voice and also the really quiet voice he uses sometimes (Haikyuu!!- Kenma).

Hag at the bread store a shit.
