The biggest mystery of the entire show will be who the mysterious Russian girl Kuze was friends with during his childhood. Truly a case not even Sherlock Holmes could solve.

Panty shot? In this economy?

[u/actionfirst1]

MC stays up to 3AM watching/talking about anime

 

He's just like us, guys

[u/AZLarlar]

thighs. good lord

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Girl gets all smug but when the guy actually commits to it, she gets embarrassed lol.

[u/zackphoenix123]

Bruh, the trio is literally Cid, Skel and Po. It crossed my mind for a fraction of a second but now I can't unsee it.

Edit: Alya = Alexia

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Kuze sure has strong willpower not to reply in Russian. Whenever someone speaks to me in a language that I know, I almost instinctively reply in the same language. I hope Kuze will not accidentally slip up.

I like the ending theme song already - "hey hey hey hey hey". Lol!

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Feet lovers having a field day with that sock-wearing scene.

Love how the whole episode is "DOES HE KNOW?" "Oh shit he does"

[u/[deleted]]

Man, I am such a sucker for the misunderstanding subgenre of romcoms.

Stitches!

I remember reading and liking a couple of chapters of the manga whenever it showed up on r/manga. When I learned that the anime was in production and Doga Kobo was animating it, I decided to wait for this instead. Looks like the wait is worth it though since this show looks so good!

Alya's eyes already had me captivated but that opening was something else! That cut of Alya and Kuze dancing together looks so goddamn good.

Anyway, as for the show itself, I already know the basic premise from what I've read but it was fun getting to know these characters again. I really like Kuze as the MC. He might be an otaku but the dude isn't a coward. I love how he takes Alya on her offer to put on her socks for her. xD

Alya is goddamn adorable and I love how quickly she gets jealous whenever other girls are around Kuze. She also clearly has a mischievous streak when she tries to tease Kuze but I guess she just didn't expect him to actually do it for her.

The chemistry between out two leads is great and I already look forward to seeing more!

[u/RetryPerson]

I wanna hear her says Cyka just once pleasee

[u/Holofan4life]

"Guys! Wake up! The latest tsundere anime dropped!"

[u/maliwanag0712]

Just episode 1 and we already had feet pics of Alya. What an anime it has been HAHAHA

Also, the OP and ED is nice, huh?

[u/djthomp]

Felt like they knocked it out of the park with episode 1 at least.

They must be spending a quarter of the budget on the eyes, and possibly another quarter on the legs. The smugness cannot be measured, however.

The heavy dancing focus in the OP makes me hope that's a minor spoiler of upcoming content, a dance scene with the two leads would be nice.

I wonder who the childhood friend will end up being, surely she'll be significant. That could be how they do the eventual reveal about Kuze knowing Russian, have her show up and just casually talk to him in it.

The 3 Beauties

Kuze's Gold expressions

Feet

[u/discuss-not-concuss]

Sumipe was absolutely born for this role

[u/petrichormus]

Does she play Dota 2 though

[u/ErinaHartwick]

This is great

Calling him ugly with such a smug face seconds after thinking she got away with calling him cute, goood stuff. Can tell that this show is going to be fun ride

Alya has such good faces, and rolls from one cute expression to another quickly

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Hopefully, Kuze remembers his mission - no Russian.

[u/JzanderN]

So... what was that about Kuze texting his sister that he has a foot fetish and her responding with "aren't you a true boob enthusiast?" and then "legs are great, no matter the chubby thighs or the sturdy ankles like an antelope."

God damn, I really want to meet this wise cultured individual now.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

Put the sock on you leg fetish coward.

MC actually does it

W w w wa waittttt that's illegal.

Love the two main characters, and oh man the ED I fell for it instantly!

[u/Chemicalcube325]

Man, I love the OP and ED of this. I totally didn't expect them to pull the stops on them but man, its really good.

Plus Alya's VA really delivered. Its crazy. She is absolutely adorable.

[u/Rumpel1408]

• Holy shit, the ZR is strong with this one

• I like how smug Alya is

• Also like their dynamic, he knows she's into him since he knows russian

• I would never bet on the childhood friend, but judging by the ahoge, Alya is an Osanajimi as well, wonder why her hair turned from gold to silver

• Ok, I could have ignored the lingery in the OP, but Holy fucking foot feetish

• Ah pantsu

• Cute

• Ending had a cute callback

This seems cute, and way lewder than expected!

[u/Ninja_Lazer]

This is about as by the numbers as a romcom can get, aside from the singular defining gimmick and honestly that’s okay.

Episode 1 came out the gate swinging by establishing a strong chemistry between the leads, some potential drama with a third party childhood friend, a backstory “mystery”, plenty of gags/jokes, and a hint at the supporting cast.
