Time for some slice-of-life comedy anime, the traditional ones of popular class girl and nerdy boy...
Except this one has a twist!
The series is not a 12 episode run-up to how this unlikely pair gets together, but instead right from the get go the popular girl, Suzuki, confesses her feelings to the nerdy boy, Tani, and they start dating. The fun thing this creates is what usually happens in a second season of this sort of anime series: the path of a developping relation as a young couple.
Let's say it skips the intro season as such...
The series follows the regular cute adventures as such of the young couple, but also how their totally opposing personalities of an extravert and an introvert start to come closer to each other, even if it at times causes some misconceptions between them. It also put the focus at times on their group of friends, and how they struggle with starting feelings for others. This brings the group along all the traditional events in these sorts of series, like summer festivals, school trips and the likes.
So all in all, this series isn't that revolutionary for the genre, yet in a way it is. Due to the protagonists already being a couple after episode one, it lifts some of the restrained boundaries you usually get as two people grow towards each other, yet don't seem to realise they love each other. These two are very much in love, meaning while the settings for the events are the same as in all other romantic series, the dynamics are different. And that makes it fun to watch without feeling like just another "more of the same".
Fun little series for sure and worth the watch!
