Review of Convenience Store Boy Friends

I was on board with the idea of a sorta random anime about the romance of characters at a konbini. But... I was left disappointed. The story was incredibly typical, which isn't so bad. My problem was that the "main" story with Haruki-kun was pretty much absent and lackluster. In fact, the side story with Towa-kun was much more enjoyable and I preferred it. He had guts. Haruki-kun did not. I ended up having this anime as background noise. There was little character development, so very subtle. Which is a shame, because they all had room for improvement. My biggest issue was the introduction of characters that don'tget screen-time. As in, they could have provided so much more detail to the story... but they're just background characters. Like those blob characters who don't contribute much but comedy in other anime, except these people have actual detail to their faces. They're even in the OP!! You grow more attached to the background characters than the main characters.

I debated dropping this so many times. Honestly, this is a good anime to practice your Japanese listening skills, as they do not speak very quickly. I wouldn't say it's worth sitting down to watch though.
