I am still looking for a new graphic for this. While I like the one Harmony made for this it is a series specific graphic and would like one that is a bit more broad. PM me if you can help.

Synopsis
Eita enters high school aiming for the National University School of Medicine. Because of his parents' divorce—and his goal—he shuns anything to do with romance or love. One day, Masuzu, the school beauty with the silver hair who has just returned to the country, enters his life in a most unexpected way. Chiwa, his childhood friend since elementary school, will not let this go without a fight.

Characters
Eita "Ei-kun, Burning Fighting Fighter, Takkun" Kidou
[Image: 198761.jpg]
The main character and a first year high school student. He aims to attend medical school after graduating from high school. Eita is very smart and always places at the top of the class during term exams. He doesn't like romance and love, as he calls himself "anti-romance." However, there is a reason for this: his parents divorced to search for 'the real one' and left him alone, never appearing before him again. This is why he lives with his aunt, Saeko-san.

Masuzu Natsukawa

Masuzu is Eita's classmate and his girlfriend. A first year high school student, who spent nine years overseas. She is considered to be the school beauty and is constantly confessed to by male students before she forms a fake relationship. She is bold and acts more evil out of school and she is very devious. Like Chiwa, she is a terrible cook.

Himeka "Himekashizuka Heaven's Rain, Burning Princess Saint Dragon Lady of Dawn, Burning Pudding Princess" Akishino
[Image: 191832.jpg]
A mysterious, black-haired girl who is actually a chuunibyo. She sent Eita letters and messages so she could finally see him. Himeka calls herself "Himekashizuka Heaven's Rain" while being in chuuni mode, and tells that her name from past life was "Burning Princess Saint Dragon Lady of Dawn". She has a one-sided crush for Eita, and says that she is his former girlfriend. However, when she isn't in chuuni mode, she has a poker face usually on, talks in third person, is a taciturn who answers usually by nodding and even throws tantrums sometimes about how Eita is only hers.
In the anime she is known as "Burning Pudding Princess."

Ai "A-chan, Love Princess" Fuyuumi
[Image: 191830.jpg]
She is an uptight and by the book member of the Student Council's Hallway Monitoring Committee, it is hinted that she often reprimands Chiwa due to her rowdy behavior along the hallways. She and Eita's friend, Kaoru, were classmates in elementary school.

Chiwa "Chiwawa, Chihuahua" Harusaki
[Image: 191834.jpg]
Eita's childhood friend and neighbour who is in love with him, and a 1st year Highschool student. Her friends often call her 'chihuahua' (Chiwawa), due to her petite appearance and two ponytails that resemble puppy's ears. She used to be in Kendo Club until the last year of junior highschool due to a critical injury. She is tomboy, who loves eating and meat, as she thinks about food from dawn till dusk. She want's to be popular with males, and constantly fights Masuzu for Eita's efforts. She is also a terrible cook.

My Opinion
Alright, this one is good for what it is. Unfortunately what it is, is just a typical harem romcom. I really wish there was some more unique character development but there really wasnt. Its literally just a large cliche with about every character. It really sucks because the story wasnt bad and the art was really really good in my opinion. I just really wish that with the slightly less used plot and storyline they would have done something unique with the character development. Not a bad show but the insanely cliched character development kinda brings it down a bit. It could be an 8 or even 9 in my opinion with some better character development. Sigh I do recommend you watch it though. Despite the disappointing character development it does have a solid plot and GREAT art. You will see the art in the amv.

My Rating - 7/10




So it has bad character development,
I will check it out after i am finished with railgun.

lmao, its not that it was bad. Just overused and cliche to the genre. Its the standard harem romcom characters. But the show was good. 👍
Gonna check this out after Kill a Kill and Golden Looks like a good anime to watch and it's completed too, so I don't need to wait :D

"If you were to write a story with me in the lead role, it would certainly be a tragedy."
OMG.
Did you watch the ending[obviously]?
It was ultimately the middle finger to the viewer. (especially the leading events)

I recommend watching:
My Mental Choices Are Completely Interfering With My School Romantic Comedy

It's a good harem with a unique and funny plot that I haven't seen other shows intimidate.
I'll probably watch this after work tomorrow. Seems pretty good.

It's like a really visually pale and stale version of Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru.
Not a bad series. I forgot about it until i saw the name. Worth watching... Kinda. Its 'good'. But not amazing. Perfect time killer.
It isn't great, but it can help you if you're bored, I am currently at episode 6 and I enjoy it.
