Review of Kiss Him, Not Me!

Story - 8 If you're familiar with other reverse harems this takes a very commonplace narrative and presents it in a funny, light-hearted, near-realistic way (not quite as over-the-top in comedy The Wallflower, not as serious at times as Ouran). I felt that a lot of the story may have been rushed as sometimes this happens with adaptions to "keep up" with the manga. The premise of this series has a leg up on it's predecessors and is relatable to the average femme otaku or fujoshi (I am the former, not the latter - I'm not into BL as much as the protagonists, but can empathize).Art - 8

I personally love the simple distinctive shoujo style, and the colours used and details to the main characters eyes are captivating. Everything else is pretty standard animation.

Sound - 7

Intro is pretty catchy and memorable, but the ending song isn't. Standard anime dramatic-ism and shoujo/comedy sound effects.

Character - 8

The main characters fit their tropes/types but have great build-able backstories. The only issue I had is the lack of personal development or background we have is from the protagonist, Kae - unlike predecessors that feature dramatic weightloss, she is shown to be just herself and there are seemingly no mental or physical repercussions to the sudden gain of popularity - aside from her constant note that she's not used to attention, gets flustered easily, and is not used to human contact.

Enjoyment - 8

Kae is relatable, and the boys that love her are strongly built and believable. I thoroughly enjoyed it and ended up binging the whole season in one night to get to some type of resolve (surprise - it's ongoing!).

Overall - 8
