QUICK TAKES

Overall a good first impression. It’s a rival-in-love battle to win one guy’s heart. The funny part? They’re so obsessed with their crush that they even want to smell his farts. Please don’t be like this. Fast-paced plot with intense battles between friends to win Kirio!

If you love a straight forward rom com, this is not for you... cause it's actually had a big hint in the end.

Comedic wise it's like a gag comedy duo ala japanese stand up routine.

One of those niche romance type, for me a skip cause of that big hint at end.

The first episode of this anime was pretty slow. The over obsession of the characters regarding the main theme of the anime was a pretty liner diction of the overall narrative. The animation was also light, nothing too special. Let’s see what the next episodes will bring to the table.

The starting point where both Aimi and Nami were practising to talk to an imaginary Kirio-kun caught me so offguard but in the most hilarious way. In short, it's straight-up fangirl brainrot in episode form and yurr I'm here for it.

Aimi and Nami’s obsession with Kirio turns even the smallest moments into pure chaos. The comedy is dramatic and ridiculous, but their friendship keeps the episode surprisingly wholesome.

Relatable teenage struggles with a hint of delulu. A bit over the top but as expected from a comedy anime. The dialogue is peak. Even the animation of some scenes are unhinged but they hit the spot!

Unhinged comedy is my kind of humor! The writers definitely know how to make an episode 1 that will hook the audience. That last scene was quite interesting too, a bit of foreshadowing

I think I'll lose brain cells watching this. But it will be worth it 🤩 this is too funny! Great start of the series

the comedic rivalry premise functions well enough, but the ending does more interesting work suggesting the girls' dynamic may be the actual romance, not the shared crush on kirio. if intentional, it's a clever subversion of the standard love triangle setup.

THAT ENDING IS SUGGESTING SOMETHING AND I WANT THAT SOMETHING TO BE CANON PLS kirio probably looks like ass anyway lol and they're so caught up in their own world to even notice him. GIVE ME THE GIRLS PLEASE.

walked in thinking this was shoujo ai bc some guy on twt told me it is. but like they're even too caught up in their own world to even notice him

Kirio's reactions to all the chaos around him are just priceless, you gotta appreciate his oblivious charm this episode.

The way Nami just casually drops that Kirio-kun is a god has me laughing so hard, you really can't argue with that logic.

I love how dedicated Aimi and Nami are to Kirio, it's so funny and sweet to see their shared obsession grow this episode.

The opening theme really sets the vibe I can't wait to see more from these two

I loved this first episode the rock paper scissors gag got me good

The opening sequence was seriously eye-catching it made me want to keep watching right away

Their rivalry for Kirio is both sweet and kinda funny they really bounce off each other well

I cracked up so hard during the farts discussion who even comes up with that stuff

EPISODE CONTEXT

As the series premiere, this episode exists purely to lay the groundwork — introducing Aimi and Nami's dynamic, their shared obsession with Kirio, and the comedic tone that will define everything going forward. No prior context is needed; this is the entry point. It sets the stage for escalating high school antics and the evolving rivalry between the two girls, establishing the recurring premise of analyzing Kirio from afar that subsequent episodes will build upon.
