Review of Ao-chan Can't Study!

I really think some of the negative reviews on this anime are a bit unfair or they looked at this a bit too seriously and judged it WAY too early. So I decided to make this my first review in hopes I can persuade a couple of people to give this anime a shot. I would call this anime a coming of age story where the MC, an adorable, naiive girl, tries to discover what the difference between love and sexuality is as her feelings of the two often mixes when a boy is thrown into her life. This show does a fantastic job ofjumping back and forth between the two emotions. It is witty, entertaining, and sometimes head ache inducing since the characters can be quite dense. But in this story, the denseness actually makes sense vs a cheap gag that is always thrown in other Rom-coms that I have seen.

The characters are set at the very beginning. There is no drama. Just a story of a girl falling in love with a boy and doing so in such a cute and positive manner. This is definitely one of the most wholesome shows that I have seen. Yes, there are some moments where you wonder what is wrong with the father, but he is only trying to teach in the only way that he knows and most of them are comedic gags anyways.

That being said, I give this show a 9/10. The story is very well told and stays true to the manga and doesn't skip anything. The character development is very strong and you get attached to the two characters very easily from the beginning. The humor is really good, from the misunderstandings, to the ecchi moments, and to the gags that are thrown around. Not to mention the opening song is very catchy! So give this anime a shot and stick with it to the end! It is a very wholesome show and it is a shame that it has such a low MAL Score.
