The Wallflower
Oshimeter
Synopsis
After her crush brutally rejected her, basically calling her ugly, Sunako Nakahara took it personally, like, retreated-into-darkness-and-became-obsessed-with-horror-dolls-and-anatomy-models personally. She's a gloomy, gore-loving recluse who gets nosebleeds around attractive people because beauty literally repulses her. Then her aunt ships her off to live in a mansion with four ridiculously good-looking guys: Kyohei, Ranmaru, Takenaga, and Yuki, but and tells them to turn Sunako into a refined lady or their rent triples. You can probably guess how well that goes. The 25-episode TV series from Nippon Animation is this chaotic tug-of-war where the boys keep trying to civilize Sunako while she keeps dragging everyone into her creepy little world. The art style actually shifts between gothic chibi Sunako and her normal form depending on her mood, which is a weirdly effective visual gag that never gets old. Underneath all the comedy, there's a genuine thread about beauty standards and self-acceptance that gives it more weight than you'd expect. If you liked the reverse harem energy and humor of Ouran High School Host Club, this hits a similar sweet spot but darker and weirder. Fans of Fruits Basket's slow character growth through comedy will find something here too, though the tone is way more unhinged. It's a shoujo comedy that's not afraid to let its heroine be genuinely strange, and that's what makes it work.

Ater taking nearly 4 months to complete, this show finally got the last episode subtitled. So, what were my thoughts? Story The story started off great. Four guys need money to pay rent, so their landlord asks them to "turn this crazy girl into an actual lady". Eh, not an amazing story, but sounds funny. I'd probably have given it more than a 6 if it actually went anywhere. But, it didn't really progress, nor did we get to see much happen from the start until the end. Art Prepare to be swamped by constant chibi characters. Odd models and bland scenes..the art is something to be desired. Sound Nothing special. The opening and ending didn't stand out to me, nor did any background music. Could have been a lot better. Character The saving grace for this show. Without the male lead and the female lead, this anime would have sucked. I enjoyed learning a little bit about each character's past. I wouldn't say any character really evolves though, as they're pretty much static throughout. I guess the female lead changes a bit (doesn't she have to?). Enjoyment Funny, happy, I had a good time watching this. There are tons of "worthless" episodes that don't progress the flow of the story at all, but whatever. Overall If you're looking for a brainless anime that will make you chuckle every so often, check this out. There's better out there though.

They didn't hold back in the final episode when it came to comedy, melodrama, and heartwarming moments. ✨ Even the use of the opening and ending songs during the most important scenes made everything even more hype-worthy! I also loved Sunako and her auntie's interactions. ❤️ For me, it was a satisfying ending that perfectly captured the true meaning of being a true lady.
Sunako being eaten up by her conscience absolutely sent me. 😂 Although Takenaga said something harsh, he had a point. The boys came up with a thoughtful yet hilarious plan to bring Kyohei back home. We're finally in the last stretch of the series, and it feels like something big is about to happen!
Welp~ this episode takes a deep dive into Kyohei's past while masking its heavy moments with comedic gags to keep things lighter. But noooo~ I cried for Kyohei. 😭 I also have to commend the rest of the gang for saving Kyohei once again. Now I'm really looking forward to the next episode because things are getting sticky once again.
Another crazy kidnapping happened to Kyohei. Yuki's courage was truly put to the test. Really~ everyone who likes Kyohei always goes through crazy lengths just to get him! But what I didn't expect was getting a deeper look into Kyohei's past, which made me even more excited for what's to come. This episode feels like the prologue to his story. And Sunako looks so sexy on her black goth dress. 🖤
The boys finally met Sunako's father, who rushed over the moment he heard the word "LOVE" involving his precious daughter. 😂 The entire episode was funny and heartwarming, and I didn't want the family interactions to end. Sunako's mom was such a beauty! ❤️ It's such a shame her screentime was so short.
Maybe I'm getting too old because I was freaking crying throughout the entire episode! 😭 I mean, I'm an empath, and I truly understand Sunako's feelings. They perfectly portrayed someone clinging to the one thing that kept them going despite their deep trauma. Kyohei was such a bitch at first, but he redeemed himself magnificently. Ahhhh~ I love this episode. ❤️❤️❤️ A balance of drama and comedy!
St. Valentine's Day isn't a celebration for the boys—it's a difficult day to survive. 😂 Oh~ the woes of being creatures of light. ✨ I almost sympathized with them after they were practically assaulted by a pack of thirsty girls. 😂 And Sunako completely losing herself over chocolate absolutely sent me~ 🍫 I can't skip this episode, it's just too hilarious for me.
Episode 17 is easily one of my favorite episodes. I loved Noi, Tomoe, and Sunako's outing—it was wholesome and hilarious at the same time. Sunako pleading for help while being pampered absolutely sent me. 😂 This episode was also full of misunderstandings, making everything so hilariously messy. I really commend Tomoe for her courage, with a little help from Noi and Sunako. ❤️
The moment the boys planned to make Sunako wear a dress based on the Victorian horror movie they had just watched, I already knew it was a bad idea. 😂 Even Kyohei had second thoughts about it. What started as a harmless plan quickly spiraled into a full-blown disaster! 😂 But this episode was visually aesthetic, especially Sunako. ❤️
