This anime is realistic. Maybe a bit too realistic. The pacing, the camera angles, the dialogues, everything about it is non-standard. Typically, romance anime is just a full on try not to blush challenge featuring the main cast, but this anime casts that aside and delves indirectly deep into the psychological statuses of the characters. From the way its going right now, I don’t even know if it’s actually a romance anime or if its a psychological anime that expresses the irl troupes of just suddenly having a step brother/sister. The main theme these past episodes is that they are “strangers”, but they grow closer to feel somewhat related, and yet so distant. The pacing in this is so slow, but steady; and that’s probably the main reason that im calling it the most realistic anime i’ve watched.

The art and animation in this anime beats 99% of all the other anime in this genre out of the water. The lighting, the fluidity of motion; everything about it is triple A.

As for all i’ve said, i’ve marked this as mixed feelings as I wouldn’t be recommending this to everyone that’s asking for a romance anime. Usually, when people ask for romance anime, they would want something that would make them hyper blush or cringe out of excitement. This anime is not that, in fact it’s kinda giving the opposite. The first few episodes kind of give the feeling of black and white. It gives off a vibe of uncertainty, but at the same tine the anime portrays happiness some sides. The “comedy” in this anime is almost non-existent; there is almost nothing to smile about in this anime. However, this is still an enjoyable watch as it’s a breath of fresh air from all the romcoms i’ve watched so far.
