This was kinda cute, even the OP song.

The main characters' bond is is between Yoshida and Yano here. Both of them starts off kinda awkward. Yano especially gives off the wrong impression with his injured face and look. Yano is clearly a kind person though. Same with Yoshida. They'll probably get along with given time. Even with their rocky start, there's a lot of mor chances for them to build a relationship.

Mangaka Yui Tamura's lone series, is definitely interesting from a rom-com standpoint, even if it doesn't seem like such.

FANTASTICS's OP is mildly good, but more OK than good.

The class president of Kiyoko Yoshida, nominated by her class, and then having a somewhat unusual student by the name of Tsuyoshi Yano, he's a mute alright, but his injuries sure is necessitating her and her good friend of Mei Yuzukawa to figure out what's giving him all those bandages, though it's just chocked down to his clumsiness. Even when she has to tend to people hurt on the streets, like a young girl in pain, it's Yano stalking her instead to see who's stalking on him, though he laughs it off with his kindness, which just leaves her in total shock. The thing is, for some reason or another, Yano's injuries doesn't seem to end, leaves Yoshida to always look after him, though it's more like he's looking after her...and worrying to the point of having a crush on him? Yep, it just seems that now, don't talk your way outta it, girl.

Yano being on sick leave for days, as usual, leaves Yoshida insanely worried, though this is quite the massive accident that led him to be hospitalized during the same period. Thankfully he's OK with the usual bandages and the like by crashing against a wall from almost being Truck-kun-ed, and Yano's certainly happy with Yoshida coming to see him once he returns back to school the next day. However, her crashing out on her friend's comments that Yano is building a wall on himself, and her declaration to get close to him gets overheard by the rest to the admiration of the class alright, when it comes to her cookies, which both Mei and Yano certainly did not have any. With Yano's clumsiness wearing on Yoshida, her promise to take care and support him more, brightens the normal school life, one event at a time.

iScream's ED is OK as well...

What a way to start a low-key rom-com. It's more care than like for a start. Fun, but sweet.

So I just watch this with zero knowledge on what's this anime, not even the genre or the poster, and somehow the opening song just spoil the whole anime for me LOL

It reminds me of previous season's Captivated, By You but with hetero energy instead of homo.

If this anime has not reveal why Yano got all of those injuries in the first five minutes, I'd had assume that he's a masochist in a kinky relationship.

What a banger of a first episode. The entire time i was either laughing or grinning. Beautiful art style and really good animation by the way.

Already love the main couple, both are adorable in their respective ways. Yoshida its an excellent FMC and really carries every scene she's in by being so extra which I love. Also enjoy the fact that she already acknowledge their feelings right away and straight up tries to get her man lol.

I'm pretty sure this will be my obligatory diabetes fix of the weekend.

You need to have a special state if mind to watch this. There is certain cuteness between MCs but main premise is absurd and every situation is overexaggerated even by anime standards.
I am not a big fan of art style but it's not a deal breaker. But male MC being not just clumsy but blind and retarded is a big issue.

Ok, this guy is the MC from Shikamori WITHOUT the luck or protection she brought! Plus, that gag got dropped mostly by the 2nd or 3d episode of that series because it gets old. Will it here? For the Jury is still out. Three Episode Rule now officially in effect.

@Sheol01 Oh, and Crunchyroll, your Premiere's aren't showing up under New Shows. You might want to fix that seeing as the Fall Season is starting. Just saying...

I was definitely interested in the manga from the premise, so I held off and decided to watch the anime first. So our girl is the class president/representative and falls in love first sight with a guy who definitely is dealing with a curse placed on his ancestors and passed to him. This sort-of reminds me of a more laid-back version of Shikimori is Not Just a Cutie with the exception that the female lead here is not an expy of Utena Tenjou—she just happens to be a normal high school girl with a crush on a nice guy with cosmically bad luck.

I will keep up with this series as it seems like a good-vibes, slow romance type of rom-com.

Oh yeah, the ED song was cool.

Cute premiere, this. The interaction between the two are pretty amusing, to be honest, and I’m definitely curious to see where this will be heading.

A truck and hospital involved, that’s literally the worst time to be intruding into that phone conversation, lmao. For the wall slam to take three days to heal means it must’ve been fairly serious, but it’s good to see at least his spirits were fine.

Yoshida-san realising that she has a romantic interest for Yano-san that early on surprised me a little though. I thought that’d go on for a few eps like many shows but thankfully not this one, lol. And we got a pseudo confession too! Replacement nurse officer, that’s a good step forward for now, I suppose.

Artistic style so far that I’m quite liking. Even the Op felt pretty different in a good way. I’d no plans of watching this show but seeing that it came out on the first day of the season, I thought why not. Definitely sticking around till the end though, that’s my genuine feeling right now.

Cute premise, fun mc and just what I want in the story. And while the animation is great, the style is just not to my taste... I think Yoshida and others look alright, but Yano is just.... Hard to look at for me. Maybe this is like an acquired taste and I am just too much into the new polished anime style, but damn

Summer had three series from Morning getting anime adaptations (CITY, Futari Solo Camp and Dekin no Mogura) and Fall has three series from Comic Days getting anime adaptations (Yano-kun, Egao no Taenai Shokuba desu and Ninja vs Yakuza).

This timeline we live in can be pretty damn good from time to time.

It's cute, just like Kyoko and her behavior, and it seems like a light comedy romance is in the works, as even the opening suggests and thankfully, it starts with the first episode and not the second.

oh, lol, I've seen this somewhere before...ah, yes, Kuzumi-kun, Kuuki Yometemasu ka? had this same formula.
but instead of popular girl x unpopular guy this time, it's class president who's kind x clumsy guy who gets injured a lot.
same formula of "having the guy on my mind and not knowing I'm falling for him right off the bat).
eh, it's still cute regardless even though it's sorta cliche. very cute and funny. the OP is catchy too.
will be sticking with it. was unable to finish the manga last year because of some manhwa but the anime is finally here. let's go!

I have no idea why this is rated a 6. Nevertheless, I loved the episode, it was a super adorable prologue for a manga that only releases a chapter every season or so. I had wanted to read it, but after seeing how slowly the chapters come out, I decided not to. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the prologue.

Dude's like an anime-fied Mr. Bump and it's hilarious.

For a show with injuries happening every other minute, it sure is doing a good job at soothing the heart with how cute it is.

Demographics mean nothing. It only has to do with the magazine the manga’s serialized in. Manga like Non Non Biyori, Skip to Loafer, and City are also serialized in seinen magazines.

high 5/10 maybe, the art needs some time to get used to and the plot seems a bit too convenient, just not very realistic, all that forcing left and right makes it a bit hard to fully enjoy, but the romance is cute nonetheless, I guess

This romance manga has a unique artstyle from rest of the romances. Kinda reminds me of Sonny Boy.
The adaptation looked promising. I thought they would mess up up. But first episode was stunning.
Also Yano is just a victim of weakest Wonder of You
