How is the MAL score so low after one episode lmao? No way people found it that bad. The anti shoujo bias on there is insane. It was a cute first episode and definitely got a lot of Mononogatari vibes from it which is a plus since that was one of my fave shows from last year. Also has some shades of Fruits Basket of course.
Definitely plays on some traditional shoujo tropes with Himari’s first view of Aoi being him naked, but I like the whole mystical inherited house set up. Her parents left that to her for a reason, why exactly i’m looking forward to finding out.
Couldn’t help but laughing at Aoi and the others reading the literal inheritance letter from Himari’s parents and still saying she needed to leave her own legal house lmao. When you see the types of things that happen in the house at night and the evil ayakashi who linger about the property you definitely understand why they wanted to keep her safe. But, if that’s what Himari wants to contend with, that’s her right
Aoi’s transformation/fight was pretty cool. I wonder if he’s half ayakashi then or something like botan from mononogatari
A kiss already!!? Wow even though it was a life saving move, still counts in my book
Lmao himari is a great businesswoman, first things first, rent due. And after Aoi blew up her phone I don’t blame her.
Fun first episode. Last year was a great year for shoujo stans and here’s to hoping 2024 is just as good if not better 🙏🏾
Also just realised Himari looks like a carbon copy of Erika from Kakkou
