Background

This romantic comedy is adapted from a light novel series by Seiju Amano, illustrated by Nanami Narumi, published by Media Factory’s MF Bunko J (10 volumes, December 2020 to January 2025). It began as a YouTube manga on the Manga Angel Neko Oka channel in March 2020, with a manga adaptation by Mosskonbu serialized on Kadokawa Shoten’s Shōnen Ace Plus since May 2021 (7 volumes as of early 2025).

Reception

The anime has been praised for its fresh take on the enemies-to-lovers trope, blending humor, drama, and heartfelt growth. The animation is vibrant, with strong voice performances, though some note Akane’s frequent yelling can be jarring. It’s lauded for organic character development and a balanced mix of comedy and romance.
