Review of Convenience Store Boy Friends

At a glance the anime starts off reasonably well, the animation is clean and the sound quality is to a reasonable watchable standard, it stars 2 guys and 2 girls in a typical school environment and they're basically tasked with the idea of creating a romantic bond together as you would see in other usual romance animes. The romance in this had really good potential and it's nice to see the characters develop and chat with each other. It falls short on having an actual good plot though as not much actually occurs, the anime focuses on too many characters and it would have personallybeen better to have just focussed on one romantic relationship and interest rather than multiple as it tends to steal that romantic atmosphere away. In terms of actual romance itself we don't see anything intimate at all not even something like a kiss scene or anything. The relationships in certain parts feel sometimes forced and it almost feels as if the characters don't even want a relationship. The atmosphere altogether gets kind of ruined here and without any actual romance that being physically nor mentally it appears really bland. The ending is disappointing and is quite unfulfilling despite the time you would put into watching it.

Depending on what romance animes you're into will navigate your choice in watching this but personally this does not feel like a romance anime at all more so a slice of life.
