This seems like a pretty standard anime romcom/drama. In fact, it shares a few undertones from last season's I Made Friends With the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class although its title doesn't make me wince every time I read it. The lead isn't a loner, at least not yet, but he's an ordinary shmuck who happens to share a secret with a popular perfect girl type who's keeping her much more mischievous and chillaxed personality on the DL. The male lead is a bit on the bland side, and the female lead is a bit livelier to balance it out.
I wasn't knocked off my feet or anything, but I thought it was a pleasant enough way to pass half an hour, and this season isn't as romance anime heavy as last season, at least not in the high school category which was like a buffalo stampede Spring 2026. I'll give it a shot. |

It is indeed pretty standard but it has enough charm to it that I will also watch more. It helps that while Haruki has the reputation of being perfect and very calm she is not that and can be quite rowdy and mischievous (plus easy to set off). The side characters also show a bit of potential. |

Japanese title: The Time the Perfect and Proper Girl at the School I Transferred to was Actually the Friend I Played with as a Kid who I Thought was a Boy. Thank the localizers for that one |

I generally think shows like this could be much more interesting if it didn't devolve into a romance. The idea that they need to hide their friendship is stupid, and you might think he might want to bring her to meet his sister sooner rather than later to make her feel at ease.
I have been tending to drop these sorts of shows at late (and there are still so many damn shows), so I think it will be likely I won't be watching anymore. Unless there is going to be some big surprise like it actually stays platonic or something. |

I think the possessive way the childhood friend reacted when the lead first helped out farmer girl pretty much indicates a romantic evolution in progress.
