The very unlikely show I would watch, but after looking at the post about wifes and I seen her name on it and looked it up… Oh crap…
Anyways, I decided to watch it for myself and see what I thought of it… so here it goes.
Synposis
Ayase is a normal high school student who doesn’t seem to want to think about girls due to the fact of the two girls in his household. While returning the overdue magazine Nobunaga Asakura had, he sees Haruka acting strangely and after she checked out a magazine from the library, she bumps into him, which caused the magazine to drop onto the floor and him seeing it causing her to run away with tears. Days after, she started to avoid him and eventually, he said that he won’t tell anyone about her hobby, which made her happy… but one thing… the magazine was due on the same day, so they went back to school at night and finally returned it. This is when the relationship between them started.
Thoughts
Although it may be a generic moe show with moeblobs doing moe things in shows like Lucky Star and K-ON!, but this is a pretty enjoyable series from watching the first episode, although it’s light on the story aspect. As you suspect, Haruka’s qualities make you think that she is a Mary Sue, but no since her flaw seems to be her “Otaku” hobby, which in reality is looked down upon since Otakus stereotypically don’t seem to have much social skills in comparison of geeks and nerds and have a obsession of anime and video games. Haruka like you expect, is a moeblob like character and she is cute and clumsy, which is probably why some people seems to obsess over her alot…
Animation was decent, but with a few flaws.
Overall, I thought it was a enjoyable show, but I won’t expect much from the storyline… but I will keep watching unless it goes south after 4 episodes…
OP/ED
OP: Tomadoi Bitter Tune – Miran Himemiya and Chocolate Rockers
ED: Hitosashiyubi Quiet! – Kana Ueda, Mai Goto, Rina Satou, Kaori Shimizu, Mamiko Noto
Sounds decent enough…
Rating
8.3/10
Captchas is getting crazay.
It was a nice watch, Haruka is pretty adorable. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend the series, but I have nothing bad to say about it ^^
Otaku hobby is so bad! loljk, I think that’s stereotype is kinda played out, but I think the otaku focus in the series is cute, rather than something to frown upon.
I’m not a Otaku myself since I don’t over obsess with Anime all day long and wanting go have anime girls as my girlfriend or… so called “Waifu” (why the hell they use that word instead of Wife… to sound Japanese?) since I prefer real life girls.
Personally, this series and also Lucky Star brings out Otaku culture, but this is alot harsher in terms of reality… but for now, I might as well continue what I started, although I won’t be watching for the sole purpose of Haruka being the ideal wife…. =p
Also, I really need to fix that capcha…
Need to watch for second season, but the otaku focus does make it a nice new thing to watch it for.

It starts off ok, shows a decent amount of promise through the first 3 episodes, and then drops off shortly after. It has the potential to be witty, but never quite takes full advantage of that. It’ll be interesting to see whether we’re of the same mind regarding this show as time goes on.
