EPISODE REVIEWS
light_yagami_112
The chemistry between Satomi and Wataru feels way more grounded than the scenes with Miho or Misa and I really hope the focus stays on them
mikasasimp
That scene at the restaurant with Satomi had such a heavy atmosphere and the way they drew the characters makes the tension feel so real
tatl_264
Wataru is kind of a mess and seeing him trip over every girl besides Mai is funny but also a little frustrating since he has zero focus
zexion_456
The art style during the first scenes with Misa and the other girls looks so good for an old ova and it captures that late summer heat perfectly
nia_teppelin
I really liked the vibe in the restaurant and Satomi is definitely my favorite so far because her attitude makes the whole dynamic way more interesting than Wataru chasing Mai
impa
The animation during the intimate moments is really detailed. It definitely sets a different tone than your average romantic anime but the plot itself feels a little thin right now
brock
Satomi seems like the most interesting character so far. She actually has a job and a life outside of school unlike some of the other girls who just follow Wataru around
hell_butterfly_hunter
The transition from the school setting to the more adult scenes is pretty jarring. It makes the whole coming of age theme feel a bit hollow when nobody cares about the fallout of their actions
koromodako_74
Watching Wataru chase after Mai while Miho is basically throwing herself at him made me feel bad for everyone involved. The show is way more explicit than I expected for a drama
bounto_bane_479
I really did not expect the production quality to be this high for something so graphic and the scene where Wataru meets Satomi at the restaurant felt way more mature than the typical high school drama stuff, I just hope the story actually goes somewhere because right now it feels like a lot of random encounters without any real consequences for anyone
luffy_legend_54
It is trying to be a serious coming of age story about growing up and finding love. Then it just throws in these huge sex scenes that feel like they belong in a different show
riza_hawkeye
Wataru trying to get with Mai and getting sidetracked by all these other girls is such a mess. He seems pretty boring so far but that restaurant scene with Satomi was definitely something else
thegingerweeb420
Misa being such an athlete makes her stand out from the rest of the girls, but Wataru is such a bland guy that it makes you wonder why anyone is interested in him
sternritter_storm_480
The animation is actually really good for this type of show. Seeing Satomi in the restaurant made it clear that this is going to be way more intense than a normal romance
luna_375
I think the way the show handles the romance is weird. The characters just sleep together and act like it is no big deal without any real weight to their choices or lives
kokiri
Misa has so much energy on the track and it is funny how Wataru just gets completely overwhelmed by all these different girls while he is trying to chase Mai
umibozu_usurper
I felt like the lighting in the outdoor scenes was great, but the way the episode just jumps into the intense stuff with no consequences for Wataru is a bit strange
winry_rockbell_117
The realistic tone of the dialogue makes the high school setting feel genuine and the encounter with Satomi is easily the most memorable part of the first episode
sk8head
Wataru is such a bland guy but seeing him get caught between a tomboy like Misa and someone like Satomi makes for a really messy and fun dynamic
nukekubi_nemesis_63
I didn't expect the art to look so much like a shojo manga and the scene where Wataru meets Satomi at the restaurant feels way more mature than I expected
EPISODE CONTEXT
As episode 1 of 4, this is the series' entry point — there is no prior episode to reference, and everything begins here. It introduces the full cast of central characters and establishes the emotional and interpersonal tensions that the remaining three episodes will push to their limits. What is seeded in these early scenes becomes the fuel for the escalating conflict and intimacy that define the back half of this short-form series.
