    Anime

    In June 2023, TV Asahi announced during their end-of-year fiscal results that the anime adaptation has recorded the highest global sales for an anime program in the NUMAnimation programming block.[32]

    The anime adaptation initially received mixed reviews from critics. Reviewing the first episode, Vrai Kaiser of Anime Feminist described it as mostly "harmless-to-charming school rom-com shenanigans" when Ichikawa's murder fantasies fade away, and said that they would give the series a "cautious wait-and-see" approach, saying it wasn't to their taste, comparing it to the "choppy start" of Teasing Master Takagi-san.[33] Kaiser also said that after three episodes, their optimism was born out, being accurate and sweet to the age group, but that the show's handling of sex as "hit-or-miss for some audiences."[34] Kaiser also argued that the series had "stumbling blocks" in the first season, but that it ends in a "really nice place" and on a "really beautiful place of feeling," and with an appealing "element of naturalness."[35] However, another post on the site gave the series a "yellow flag" for some early monologues by Ichikawa, arguing they "veer too close to actual violent misogyny".[36]

    Reviews for Anime News Network took a different perspective. In a Spring 2023 anime preview guide, James Beckett said that the show's premiere was "irritatingly good" and said his defenses crumbled due to the series' "relentless onslaught of cuteness," calling the series "absurdly freaking cute," but hoped that Kyotaro's pension for murder was toned down, while Rebecca Silverman said the first episode blended good humor with an expected "warm emotional undercurrent" and comedic moments, and praised the plot for being "good enough," while criticizing the character designs. In contrast, Nicholas Dupree and Richard Eisenbeis were more critical. Dupree said the series is build upon "pure, undiluted cringe humor," noted that Ichikawa is an "uncompromisingly honest presentation of...an edgelord teenager" while noting that Yamada is "pretty charming." Eisenbeis said that while the story and characters make sense and the animation is fine, he said that the series made him cringe, and said while the series has a "well-written protagonist" and great coming-of-age message, he would watch if it didn't have "awkward humor."[37] Later, MrAJCosplay, in a review on the same site, listed the series as one of their favorite anime in 2023, arguing that the series is a "very simple slice-of-life story," with a satisfying slow-burn romance, with every episode having some importance or dramatic weight, and said they couldn't "wait to see how much further the lovable goofballs will go." In another review, they praised the series "immaculate production values and a very ambient soundtrack."[38] [39]

    Alan Moody of THEM Anime Reviews reviewed the first season. He said that while Kyotaro resembled Nishikata from Teasing Master Takagi-san, Kyotaro is a loner and his "countenance is mildly creepy," while arguing that Yamada differs from Takagi, as she is "statuesque, towering over Kyotaro". He also said that the series comedic timing is "nearly perfect," and that while the series is not "intellectually astute as Takagi-san, the cast...make up for much of that by their charm." He further added that due to the "mild sexual innuendo" in the series, it had mature themes as a result, while Hidive says the series is TV-14, and noted that Lovely Complex is a similar series, and noted the spinoff Twi-Yaba as a related series.[40]

    The second season of the anime became the first anime in the history of the anime polling sites Anime Corner and Anime Trending to be ranked first for an entire season.[41] [42]
