Yamada is a girl in High school with a weird goal in mind which is to have to have sex with 100 men. She wants to get started but is afraid people will make fun of her because she's a virgin and thus rejects every man. So she plans to find another virgin to be her first. She then runs into Kosuda by accident and plans to make him her first. As she tries to seduce him she finds her self feeling awkward around him as she learns there is more to life than sex.

 

 

There is a twist on the romance here as we see s love story unfold from a girls's perspective, of course its a very awkward love story. One thing that is important is how the story moves forward through Yamada as she concocts schemes to get Kosuda's "heart". Oh course from the Anime's description you can tell she was simple out to get her cherry boy, as they put it, at first anyways. Every episode is different then the last due to the events in the last which gives the Anime a smooth move forward. You would thing that watching Yamada keep trying to pull off plans would grow boring but thanks to the forward movement we see Yamada develop to be much more mature on the subject of love.

 

The humor in this Anime is bound to it's perversion. The subject of ecchi comedy is rather bland but the Anime pulls it off thanks to Yamada. It is easy to see Yamada is not a pure girl ad her word choice isn't either. A lot of the comedy comes from what she says due to how open she is about what she wants thus creating humor from her perspective on situations. While it does include normal fan-service that is humorous in its own right it's the verbal ecchi that really made the comedy a highlight in this Anime.

 

 

The cast of characters of characters here produce a likable atmosphere which is ties into their reliability and human like reactions. The interactions between our two lovers. Yamada and Kosuda, are more like that of hormonal teenagers in which they are unsure of their feelings and how to make to each other happy with a learning factor in place. These human qualities make them more relate-able which is rare in most romance Anime today.

 

The interactions between the other characters is also worth mentioning. I already told you about the main characters interactions but what about their interactions with side characters? Well in most modern romance Anime the main character, in this case Yamada, have a group of perverted friends who desire to be in their position, this is not the case here. Instead of a perverted friend we have a supportive friend by the name of Takeshita Miharu. She has helped move the plot forward several times by giving Yamada romantic advice. It is important to note that Miharu is mature and has her own boyfriend to base her advice on. Kosuda also has an adviser his older sister who act interestingly enough as an older sister should excpet for her one habit. 

 

Overall the characters here are well done as far as romance Anime go thanks to the realistic aspects of the Anime. A lot of romance Anime would do good to follow this example with perhaps less ecchi.

 

 

-Visual: The character designs were a little exaggerated in certain places such as the chest. The coloration of the characters were bright and correspond to the Anime's atmosphere. The scenery itself was nothing special but could be done better to create a mood.

 

-Animation: The animation flows well here and is rather pleasing. I felt that while that while I watched the Anime it was very fluid.

 

-Auditory: While not my cup of tea the music dd well the bring out the nature of this Anime. It was very energetic and upbeat but none to memorable.

 

 

 

This Anime was a very fun watch for me and was surprisingly better done then I thought. The ending felt weird to me like they were asking for a season two but the experience was great. Having the perspective of the story from the girl was refreshing and with her being a pervert, reversing the role, was even more refreshing. The Anime was consistently funny and as aid before a steadily moving forward. I will suggest this Anime to those who are willing to understand it's characters.
