This one is a must read for romcom enthusiasts who are missing now-finished series like The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses or Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible. This manga jumped into my favourites straight away with chapter 1, and has been getting better and better with each subsequent chapter. It's still going at max speed, so you had better catch up!

Oh yeah, looks to be a really solid adaptation. The biggest upside is that the animation is in service of character and personality, and there's a lot of it.

Here's the opening, btw! Folks seem to like it a lot.

Helluva good episode. What a cliffhanger, though! Brother is already in a pinch.

Not a bad second episode. Looks like the show will move quickly enough during the three-episode rule that people will have time to figure out Maki's not the derivative ML that he was made out to be (specifically, by the anime crew and their insistence on a more generic style) in the first episode. Fingers crossed, this is a good series, with cool interpersonal insights!

It's interesting, because Houkago Kitakyu Biyori is actually super similar in that it works at a level of subtleness you don't usually see. It's a joy to have them both running at the same time. While something like BokuYaba is subtly ornamental in detail (with the paneling, the callbacks, and so forth), the last time I remember such attention being paid to the intricacies of the psychology of a relationship in a romcom is with Tonari no Onee-san ga Suki.

Loved how this chapter had a lot of cute physical intimacy (even if Waku is a gentleman, and tried not to touch Oura-san, lol). The

chapter 17

was some of the lewdest I've ever seen. This series is currently one of the best, highest quality works that I'm reading atm. The author's previous work was mostly shoujo and josei, and didn't set the world on fire for me at least, but now working in the seinen format everything's come together and it feels fresh and unique.

Loved this turn of events! Man, the art gave me lovely whiplash, it's like she's a completely different person now that she's conscious of the stakes, and has put in the work.

There have actually been a few other discussions lately here about mods on Linux. You might check those out as well, but from what I understand, this linked one is very promising.

Perfect, I prefer this myself too :D

Yeah the anime seems to adapt the look and feel of the manga down to a T. Best job at that this season, methinks. Can't vouch for the manga, I've read less than 10 chapters, but looks to be light and fun.

Hey, awesome. I'm with you on all these criticisms. Let's see how it plays out with the next episode. What I really just wanted to try to hint at is that there is a similarly deep dynamic between the main characters of Class de 2-banme as there is with Gals Cant't Be Kind, and it would be a huge shame if the anime fails to show it.

It's kind of crazy how derivative the first episode looked like, but it made me realize how hard it is to properly translate the little tiny bits in the manga that make it work work. It is really subtle in delivering the overall cozy feel. It makes me think of Fujichika Koume's manga, actually, especially Tonari no Onee-san ga Suki, which was ultra hyper duper subtle, and to a lesser degree Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta (the adaptation of which was handled ok-ish by Go Hands even if there were super odd moments in the animation at times).

That's also making me feel really hyped about Gals - they got the personalities suuuper right out of the box even if I had some tiny nitpicks about the style.
