Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Not once in her life has Mona Kawai met someone she couldn't charm. She walks into a room and every head turns. that's just how her life works. Then Medaka Kuroiwa transfers to her school, and for the first time, someone looks at her like she's an inconvenience. No blushing, no stuttering, just a frown. Mona's not used to this, and she's not about to let it slide. Here's the thing though, Medaka isn't just playing hard to get. He's a monk-in-training, actively trying to resist any and all romantic temptation as part of his spiritual discipline. So every time Mona cranks up the charm, Medaka is internally fighting for his life trying to stay composed. She thinks he's immune; he's barely surviving. That gap between what Mona sees and what's actually going on inside Medaka's head is where most of the comedy lives, and it works really well. This 12-episode TV series from SynergySP, adapted from the shounen manga, keeps things light and funny without dragging the premise thin. The dynamic between Mona's relentless confidence and Medaka's quiet desperation gives it a rhythm that feels fresh even in a crowded genre. If you liked the mind-game energy of Kaguya-sama: Love is War or the awkward push-and-pull of Toradora, this one hits a similar sweet spot: just with a monk trying very hard not to catch feelings.

Finally, the finale episode! I really enjoyed the chaos between Medaka and Mona. This messy rom-com has become one of my favorites, and I really liked the way this episode ended. I also liked how they maintained Medaka’s character throughout. I’m hoping they make another season.
Woah, the pacing and writing are so good, and the chemistry between Medaka and Mona is top-notch. Mona finally understanding her feelings feels genuine now. I absolutely loved this episode and it's definitely a no-skip episode.
I really loved the story development in this episode and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also really liked Tomo’s character and we can clearly see the love triangle here.
This is a really good episode to watch a nice break from the usual chaos between Mona, Asahi, and Medaka. We also get to see Mona’s longtime friend. I really liked the way this episode unfolded.
This episode feels repetitive, with the same chaos and mess between Mona and Medaka. Poor Medaka, he tries so hard to keep things under control.
This episode is basically a pre-Halloween setup episode and we got to see the chaotic "Halloween Dress" competition. Poor Medaka can’t even catch a break lol.
Another chaotic episode first Medaka gets sick, then Mona gets sick. The plot feels a bit slow, though.
We have a new competitor for Mona and the story is getting even more interesting. I really hope Mona and Medaka end up together :)
The episode was really enjoyable, especially with the school festival continuing. The comedy style and chaotic energy made it fun to watch from start to finish.
This episode is really fun! The visuals are so good, and the chaotic yet funny interactions and moments between Medaka and Mona during the school festival make it even more enjoyable.
The way Kuroiwa calms down whenever he sees Mona is really wholesome. I’m really enjoying the animation and the plot.
This was simply an entertaining episode if you like all the messy rom-com vibes. Mona fully embracing that she’s in love makes her lovable and flustered chaos is simply adorable. This is simple, sweet, and very shamelessly fan service-y and fun. 8.4/10
I enjoyed this episode was that the plot finally had some kind of development. This would be a must watch episode if you are one of the people who have been waiting for something good to come out of the romantic comedy genre to finally pay off and feel satisfied.
The episode feels juicy without dragging the exciting drama and plot developments. The love triangle chaos is actually pretty entertaining and brings a bit of spice. Nice to see an episode with a theme, quite refreshing.
Indeed an entertaining episode. Mona is now tolerable although she can be cute but mostly she's annoying! that annoying-cute energy is slowly getting easier to enjoy. Mona's childhood friend finally appeared!! time to spice things up hehe.
This episode seems a bit messy but nice at the same time. It is silliness as ever, Mona is still annoying medaka, and quality feels hit-or-miss. The chemistry between the two is cute.
A really cute goofy romcom that leads into comedy driven fanservice. I love the halloween vibe moments sounds fun but the pacing stay easy, and the way Mona will really do anything she can to find a costume to win over Madeka’s heart is so charming and cute.
Pretty mid but easy to watch. The romantic comedy vibe is chill and some jokes work but after a while, it just starts becoming repetitive and nowhere interesting to go. We finally have ourselves a nice love triangle with both girls aware of each other's feelings.
This is definitely the most amusing episode yet, with the rivalry between the two girls. Even though I'm not really fond of rivalries in sitcoms, in this case, it was extremely funny and adorable.
These episodes are really charming. The mix of strong tension and those cute, flustered moments makes everything so enjoyable to watch. I also like that Medaka’s way of interacting with Mona is starting to shift.
