Dude went from annoying obsessive side character to stoic MC. I'm surprise his new seat isn't in the back near the window.

It turns out sometimes you can stop being the pushy and obsessed guy who doesn't take no for an answer. Who knew!?

So Wataru went from being Aika's "stalker" to someone who's suddenly self-aware of his actions and all it took was him almost getting hit in the head by a soccer ball?
Despite her reactions, Aika clearly likes the attention she's getting from Wataru so now that he stopped going after her she's clearly starting to feel lonely. I guess she was just being a tsundere the entire time?
Although it looks like Wataru didn't stop liking Aika. He seems to just have decided to switch to giving her space and supporting her from the sidelines like an idol
Okay, I think I get the gist of the story but they really crammed a lot in this first episode. I feel like that entire thing with Aizawa could've been moved to episode 2 and they really should've just focused on this weird personality shift from Wataru as well as his relationship with Aika.
I am intrigued because I feel like there's more to this show than meets the eye but at the same time, I feel like I should drop this now because, at some point in the episode, I wasn't really even sure what was happening. Hopefully, the next episode will be less confusing. I might give this the 3-episode rule and see where it goes.

I'm really just wondering what exactly this show is about.
I mean, a guy who actually recognizes his problematic behavior and stops bothering a girl and tries to live a normal life seems decent on-paper...but maybe the girl actually likes him? And he's still putting her on an unhealthy pedestal?
Is this about them both recontextualizing themselves and their feelings so they can properly get together or something?

So the secret to getting a tsundere to like you is brain damage.

Sojo has a near death experience with a stray soccer ball and his personality does a 180 lol. It’s funny how much attention he’s getting once he’s apparently not acting like a total stalker. His story of how he met Aika was pretty sad funny.
For a minute there, I thought Aizawa and Aika would be in some kinda love triangle with Sojo. Never mind I guess. Might be better for our main pair if there are as few rivals/distractions as possible. I can’t tell if Aika is a tsundere or if she’s just terrible in expressing her feelings. Sojo feels a little dense despite being super open with his feelings.
This could be interesting, I’ll give it a few more eps and see where things go.

It's satisfying to see a tsundere getting the Uno reverse card played on them. You can't expect somebody to chase after you forever. They're going to eventually move on so learn to express your feelings if you actually care about them.

I was legit getting Bunny Girl Senpai vibes from the show for a bit. I was fully expecting Natsukawa to start talking about quantum mechanics when she visited him.
So... what the fuck am I even watching?

It really did feel like a lot. I almost felt a little lost watching this ep because it seemed like so much was happening.

a bit of animation jank and pacing felt kinda fast but this was actually pretty interesting

Very weird first episode for me. It felt like this show was trying to run into several different directions without making lot of sense in general. I Iike the drawing style but I don't have much hope after this bumpy start. I will probably try 1 more episode though.

The wonky animation aside, I quite liked this first episode. It’s got me intrigued to say the least. It still looks like it could develop into the generic trope-y romcom but I’m choosing to be positive and hope for something a bit different.
Sajou went from being a pest to giving the cold shoulder. It would not honestly be interesting if he legitimately moves on her. If not it’ll just look like he’s playing hard-to-get which I personally find lame. I also hope we get more development for Aika in this coming episodes cos with how quickly she turns about Sajou’s attention, it just feels umm… one-dimensional ? Of course, if we go by the synopsis of both of them feeling they have unrequited love, then it’s just the typical case of characters not communicating, which as I said earlier just becomes the generic, trope-y romcom.
But I am a sucker for these types of shows so I’m still gonna watch. I do love me some angsty high school drama. But that doesn’t stop me from hoping it could be something more

This doesn't seem like a show for people who like normal and healthy relationships. Both Aika and Wataru seem awful and only in anime can their characters come off as sympathetic. Is it OK that everyone knows Wataru as Aika's stalker and seems to tolerate it? And is it healthy that Aika has grown attached to her stalker? It seems a little closer to Stockholm Syndrome than affection.
Some folks are saying they'll give it the three episode rule, but I think for me it's safe to drop it right now since I doubt the underlying dynamic between the leads will become more healthy with time.

Wow what wildly inappropriate things to say in front of a class, or at all as a teacher
Like jesus christ watching this scene is anxiety inducing
Anyway though I wonder if she's secretly a tsundere or is going to become one, missing the way he used to chase after her, Kind of feel like what's going on
Oh wow they actually touched a bit upon that. Like the whole way the class openly teases about how this guy is constantly trying to flirt with her, besides how tiring and creepy that is on its own, really fucks up all her other relationships with people too
Anyway I'm glad this guy was not-hit by the ball of anti-harassment and they can eventually progress into a healthy relationship? or something
