I'm generally avoiding rom-coms these days, but I will check this out. I remember seeing copies of the manga a while back and being intrigued.

My only reservation is that its leaning into the annoying female lead provoking/flirting with an introverted male lead, and a lot of the anime that came out after the success of Teasing Master Takagi-San proved that it's a tough balancing act between irritating and amusing.

Yeah, I am kind of over the teasing/light bullying element because most shows fail to make it work. Go too hard and it just becomes hard to stomach.

The show is as expected for better or worse, it is silly with a cliche premise that is a tad barebones. The mc seems to be a chill enough guy while Iroha is indeed rather annoying and Mashiro is a tsundere with a past. The creating a game together component interests me but otherwise it does not seem like anything special right now.

I don't know about you guys, but I rather the cousin be the female lead. The plot about being a fake boyfriend to the cousin, I find that more interesting, I rather that be the A plot instead of what we got.

Yeah, no. I think I lasted 5 minutes. Bratty sister of friend is just waaaaaaaaay too irritating. I'd take waterboarding over 12 episodes of this.

Yah, if irritation were radiation, alarms would be going off, steam would be coming out of the control panels, and people would be fleeing whatever lab cooked up this monster.

(Koff) in my opinion of course.

I'm almost inclined to drop this, because Iroha is so obnoxious.

But I'm gonna' watch it just for Encyclopedia purposes.

-_-

Also, I can't stand people with "one eye covered" haircuts.

What's the point of even having two eyes, if you're just gonna' use one and cover the other?

Remember, if you extrapolate the size of these characters eyeballs, they fill most of the skull. What's left can be used for a reduced brain size, but even that is even more completely dedicated to visual processing, due to the volume of visual information being collected. So you can't expect too much intelligent hair style choice from these characters.
