The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity
| Dude, it's only episode two. They haven't even become a couple yet and haven't resolved the first conflicts of their relationship. |
 |
| I get where you’re coming from. But as someone who’s followed the manga for a while and now seeing it adapted, I honestly think that’s exactly what makes this series so good. |

To be fair, they've both known each other for 3 days where they barely interacted on the first. Do you really expect them to have a deep and open relationship after not even a week? The fact that Kaoruko is as open and honest as she is after just getting to know Rintaro should tip you off that there's more at play here. The fact that they even get to know each other based on the tension their schools are facing is a miracle, and Rintaro just last episode finally got to know that what school they go to doesn't matter in the eyes of Kaoruko. You've seen how Kikyo girls treat the boys at Chidori and how that's left a sour taste in their mouth, but you'll also get to know just why the girls are as agressive as they are soon enough. But with that behind them, they can finally move on to getting to know one another on a more personal basis. Trust me, their relationship will deepen, but it's been two episodes, just give it some time.
| @Lervikingen ...I do think you can expect characters to have a relationship after three days, not in a romantic sense, but in so far that we get what they see in each other or at least see why they fit together (if they do). I also think their "relationship" feels flat this far, and it's not because they haven't fucked yet, but because they have like no chemistry. They feel like characters, not real people, and so their interactions feel just as artificial. That's at least how I feel when watching the show ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

| I would say just give it a chance, it’s literally been two episodes |
| It's been two freaking episode and people already passing on judgement as they are bland. They don't even know eachother that well only been 2-3 days since they first meet. And isn't the school circumstances enough for a an intresting premise. If wholesomeness is problem then watch toxic romance. Not really judging taste but maybe am judging slightly.. Fav: Toradora Dropped: Kaguya sama |
| Were you expecting much more dramatic melodrama scenes or something? |

not even saying im not going to give it a chance I heard apparantly side characters cook so im actually quite looking foward to that. Just was mentioning this one major concern for me with the anime
| @Dellio_man mb I might have worded that badly, my point was just wait a few more episodes and see what happens, I've never read the manga so idk what happens either but lets see how they develop. its understandable if its bland since its still in the early phases of their relationship |
| saw one episode , im not a romance anime fan but i watch good ones .. i can tell from one episode that this one is not good . cliché moment . cliché reactions . cliché situations . girl ! why are you defending a guy that you just met ! pfffffffff. another over hyped anime . dropped ! and just stop rating high for anime that is not good . |
| If this anime/manga wasn't bland, it wouldn't have been rated so highly on this site. |

| @queenofautism Counterargument: Demon Slayer. Also, a great manga can still have a bad start, and I find it absolutely valid to critique a work no matter how highly rated it is. OP was just honestly asking how other people felt regarding the superficiality of these characters, and I think that's more than valid. I expect this show to get a whole lot better, but I can still look at it and say, that its beginning is rather weak so far. I misread your comment as "If this anime/manga was bland, it wouldn't have been rated so highly on this site", which, to be honest, is the more intuitive way of understanding it, but still, that was a mistake on my part, sorry. |

Recent episode... bro you watched first TWO episodes, and decided to write an essay about their relationship not progressig as you expected
| @APEMODE11 ...yeah? That seems pretty reasonable to me, to expect two characters who get like 70% of the screen time together to have some form of relationship that is compelling. If you want romance examples that managed to establish a compelling relationship within thirty minutes: Kaguya & Shirogane (Kaguya-Sama), Mai & Sakuta (Rascal does not dream), Hori & Miyamura (Horimiya), Mitsume & Sousuke (Skip and Loafer), Mitsuha & Taki (Your Name), Yuu & Touko (Bloom into You), Taiga & Ryuuji (Toradora), Akane & Kotarou (Tsuki Ga Kirei), Nukumizu & Yanami (Makeine). To make this clear, neither OP nor I are/were talking about how far they got into their relationship, but simply how they work together as characters and what chemistry they have, which in this case they seemingly just don't. |

| Just watched the first 2 episodes, but it feels like the same high school rom-com. I watched more than 50 rom-coms, and it feels like a regular series. I don't have hope, but let's see how it goes till the end. |

| @Lonely_kun you know its not a rom/com right? |
| I enjoyed it, just because I love some me some diabetes anime, the only thing I'm having a difficult time understanding is why Waguri is so popular, more popular than for example Yamato Rinko from Ore Monogatari, when they seem like the exact same character (except Waguri eats cakes and Yamato bakes them lol). I'm 14 chapters into the manga and I still got the same feeling. And there are more characters like these two out there, so what makes this one special? |

They feel like characters, not real people, and so their interactions feel just as artificial'' It's a very good summary of these characters and their romance. They simply are. For example, I'm not a fan of Horimiya main couple (I find Hori toxic), but there's chemistry between them, and these characters are human. Here, it all feels so artificial, bland sometimes melodramatic for no reason at all and I don't know... fairytale-like. |
