    I was a little uncertain about the pacing and tone of the first half of the first episode, it felt like they were going too hard trying to set up the show. But I see now that it simply was a difficult task to get things going, the manga is very subtle and has a ton going for it.

    This second episode is already on top of things and the humour is starting to show through. I’m already super looking forward to the third episode, much in the same way I was with the anime of the author’s other series, Polar Opposites. I’m pretty sure this is going to be as good.

    Huh… this has taken a sort of odd and interesting turn.

    Koyun isn’t quite the loner she initially appeared to be. She does have her “rampart of ice,” but she showed with Yota that she’s willing to let someone past, and fairly easily even, if they prove themselves to be trustworthy.

    But she still has her rampart up with Minato. And although he came across initially as just sort of filterless, it’s looking more all the time as if what he actually is is self-absorbed and reflexively manipulative, so that’s probably a good thing.

    More subtle dynamics than I was expecting.

      I would say that Minato and Koyun are in similar ruts, just from the opposite angle. Minato doesn’t know how to stop, and Koyun doesn’t know how to start. I am loving how her dumbfoundedness is animated, it’s much funnier here than in the manga.

    I really like the FMC of this series. She’s a loner but not as extreme as in many other series. A person like that could exist in real life.

      She’s great! The author of this manga has a fantastic knack for fully rounded characters, including but not at all limited to the leads. Polar Opposites is very similar to this show. You’re in for a treat in case you haven’t seen it. It’s a show where pretty much everyone you’d like to has a story.

      You could make the argument that

      this show has the leads inverted compared to Polar Opposites.
