This anime reminds me of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, but something about the writing and inner dialogue spacing feels a bit different. I’m not sure if it’s the writing itself or the timing, but especially in the first two episodes, every moment feels like there’s too much inner monologue happening—too frequently. I do like the plot and the overall idea. Childhood friends trying to convince each other romantically is a great concept, and I’d love to see it get more serious over time. Right now, it feels “almost good enough” as a romance. The comedy, however, can be a bit too aggressive and sometimes nearly distracting.It comes off a little silly, but if you can go along with it, the show is actually very wholesome and sweet.

I really liked episode three because of the slower moments and the way the characters express their real personas. It feels like their personas and true feelings start to blend together more naturally, instead of feeling separated. Those moments are the best part for me. Episode three really made the show stand out more, and I’d like to see more serious romantic moments. Even though it’s not the best show overall, the moments that do shine are why I’m giving it a 10/10 for me personally—I just really adore how sweet it can be.

(Spoilers below – Episode 3)
My favorite part was the moment where he put a crown on her like a princess in episode three. It’s such a classic romantic moment, and it was done really well. I think this show is meant to be a “half-and-half” type of anime—half serious and half comedy, just like the two characters. That scene was really sweet and is what made me add this anime to my favorites, we'll see how long that stays there :]
