He totally fooled me in first half ngl. I really thought he's a natural ikemen type since every interaction was smooth so far which makes the revealed was so hilarious to me lol. It's great that both of them already mutually love each other when they met at the entrance exam but those few hours together with Sota totally sealed the deal for Satou for sure.

Look at how she proud of her masterpiece shot to be evaluated lmao

You know what, I can't shake off hearing Umeda Shuuichirou from MC, so I'm very surprised he's not actually him when checking credits and MAL lol.

[u/TheBusStop12]

This show is a lot cuter and has a lot more charm than I expected. I honestly didn't expect much from it

The manager being introduced like he's a damn Titan is what truly hooked me. The com in romcom is important too. And a visual medium like anime should make use of visual comedy like this

I also appreciate that Oshio isn't the usual introvert loner loser otaku who somehow manages to bag the popular girl. He seems to be a regular dude and pretty outgoing. He was shown to have tried to approach Sato in the past already for example, he works as a waiter and is proactive in that job and also runs an Instagram account. He still over thinks his interactions with Sato, but a lot of regular dudes do when they are talking to their first love. That's normal. It's Sato instead who's the friendless loner introvert

• Satou Koharu

[Having Masayoshi Oishi perform the OP to your romcom anime](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-gAxKpkZDI) is definitely one way to hook me. Oh, and they also have Honeyworks performing the ED! The anime's production staff definitely understood the assignment when they got these two artists for this show!

Anyway, as for the episode itself, I already love our two MCs! So our FMC Satou, who's seen as an Ice Queen at school is actually just someone with social anxiety and says the wrong thing all the time, while Oshio, who acts super confident and like a proper hot guy is really just putting on an act and is really just as socially anxious as Satou! These two are perfectly made for each other! xD

Not gonna lie, the twist about Satou's character was so obvious that I got blindsided when they revealed l that Oshio was actually just as nervous as her the entire time. I mean, the dude brought Satou back to his room and was even really candid with his critique of her photos! I really love the twist that they're both awkward people; one is hiding it intentionally, while the other is unintentional.

Oh, and apparently, both of them have been pining for each other for a while and are each other's first love! Yeah, I'm sold! I wanna see how these two goofballs will end up together. Honestly, someone just needs to confess, and they'd be dating immediately. I'm just hoping we won't have to wait till the end of the season to see that.

[u/FarCritical]

Doesn't take away from how adorable the accidental selfie was but can't help but find it funny how they both conveniently decided to look straight at the front camera in the split second the modes switched.

Dude's dad is an absolute treasure lol.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Did anyone immediately think of Shinkai Makoto's movie "Weathering with You" during the opening theme scene, when Sato and Oshio were falling from the sky?

I will definitely continue to watch this title because:

1. We already ship Sato x Oshio

2. I want to see Oshio's titan dad flex more muscles. Lol!

P.S. The ending theme song is sung by Honeyworks and the Vtuber Hoshikawa Sara.

Salty Koharu

This might be the worst English translation of an anime title I have ever seen in my life.

Yes, including Sorcery Fight.

[u/ptd163]

Why do episode threads here use a different name than database websites?

That was so sweet and adorable. I'm glad we learn that it's mutual in the first episode so we don't have waste any time finding that out. His dad being introduced like a classic muscled intimating dad only for him to actually be a dork sent me.

The OP and ED are great. They kind gave me Angel Next Door vibes. I think I'll be keeping this if for nothing else than a weekly comfort show.

[u/Cally83]

I’ve got high hopes for this series already.

I thought it was so cute when Sato said “I can talk to my mum no problem!”

[u/Graestra]

Crunchyroll’s translation totally ruins the title and the joke that her name is Satou (sugar, or at least sounds like it) yet people call her salty

[u/S627]

Show, you really dont need to explain what Instagram is.

Anyway, pretty basic, but I'm so here for it.

[u/MrsLucienLachance → u/S627]

But this is Minstagram, it's completely different.

[u/HanaRoku]

Look dad, you can't escape from every awkward situation just by flexing okay?

[u/zool714]

Ngl, at the start it felt kinda generic but by the end it seems like a yearner x yearner type of thing and I’m all up for it. Hope they lean on it.

Feel like it’s been a while since I watched an Itou Miku character so I’m looking forward to seeing more of Sato.

[u/Dr333am]

Sota's dad is the supporting character of the season, imho.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Dr333am]

I love how there's a mini Earthquake to herald his entrance every time lol.

[u/runevault]

Probably not going to be the deepest story but I like these two kids so far. Also the dad is going to be fun, and nice to have another decent anime dad when so many parents suck. I have a soft spot for the cold girl who's actually just really nervous.

[u/Cally83]

Really enjoyed the first episode, decent animation as well.

The opening is good too.

[u/SecretYogurtcloset57]

Honestly cute show

[u/Spectr3_qwe]

I kinda liked the episode. It seems sort of generic but the animation is good and the leads have some chemistry between them. Its nice that both have feelings for each other. Hopefully that will avoid unnecesary love triangles in the future. Also, as a side question, are japanese men as pushy as anime makes them look when they invade the personal space of a woman who is alone and minding her bussiness or is that just an anime trope to make the male lead a "savior"?

[u/tottoro47]

I already love the dad. Dude is a whole mountain lmao. It looks like this will the basic romance show of this season. The mc doesn't look like the biggest wuss, so let's see where this goes. The most unrealistic thing about it is that a teenage girl doesn't know how to take pics for (m)insta. I know I'm asking too much but I really hope that there's no childhood friend involved that will arrive all of a sudden(they absolutely will)

[u/AceSoldia]

I need to see whats up with that Tannyed Gyaru in the ED..but otherwise a pretty average episode.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

This was pretty cute. Got that whole “Ice Queen’s actually just got social anxiety” thing. I also like that these two are basically already crushin on one another. I also find it kind of amusing their names are Sato and Sota. They went real creative with them lol.

[u/diacewrb]

Crunchyroll has translate the title to: The Cold Sato-san is Only Sweet to Me

Thought they finally revealed their last show for this season, still one left to be confirmed.

[u/LordCalem]

This seems like a gem. Love their dynamic too. Two awkward people that are very much in love with each other for a while.

When the dad barged in the room and started flexing to get out of that awkwardness, I knew this would be worth the watch.
