A jack-of-all-trades tries to teach two genius girls the cold to the other’s fire. Ogata, the “Thumbnail Supercomputer” is good at math. She is cold and calculating, even cynical. Understanding the world only in terms of numbers. But she wants to study psychology. Furuhashi is good at literature. She is emotional and easily influenced by people and her environment, unable to understand the world in any terms but her emotions. And she wants to study astronomy.

expect wholesome fanart next week

This is what happens when you put all your stats one thing, halfway through the game you realise the flaws of what you picked or how awesome the other play style is.



insert plot summary here (that’s your spoiler que)



Our MC is suitably lukewarm with no defining characteristics so that he can fulfill the audience’s stand-in/punching bag. But this is now given narrative articulation and purpose through his jack-of-all-trades grades, making him suitably versed in each heroine’s fields as to tutor them both.



Furthermore each girl’s strengths and weaknesses come out in their personalities, as I have laid out in the introduction. This is important as it should lets the story tie together the girl’s emotional development with their epiphanies in their schoolwork. If all works out, we should see some clever irony at play.



Blue hair on night sky is peak Ichigo :p

Furuhashi has personal reasons to feel an attachment towards the stars, and thus wants to study them. Ogata on the other hand has more going on. She is not a human computer as her name would imply, but has emotions that drive her to be the perfect at everything. She’s a perfectionist, her weakness in understanding people infuriates her and stunts her ego to the point where she works furiously at trying to solve the problem, or insists that “The problem itself is wrong. How can we understand the main character’s feelings…..” Forgive me, but is this foreshadowing? I think we’ll get some good moments where she starts to understand specific emotions, and realises more things about herself. If the show wanted to get more drama heavy Ogata might hurt people by acting stubborn and cold, only to then realise what she had done (note that Ogata doesn’t seem to have any friends as she really wanted MC to hang out with her on her break).



Furuhashi is cool, I’m a literature boy so she’s cool. But there is only so many embarrassed and blush faces a character can make before that becomes their character. A moe blob.



Caricature!

As for the facial expressions, they’re alright. It no Kyo-ani of course but we’ve seen all these faces before. Could by a lot worse mind you so I am nitpicking here.



I’m not talking much about the MC, because this is a harem and I refuse to call him anything other than MC. They are all the same and completely irrelevant to the appeal of the show, he just needs to be versatile enough for many different girls to bounce off him. You wont see a screencap either.



I’m interested to see whether this will become light-hearted romance, comedy skits or more drama focused. I’m always going to advocate for more drama since I’m smug but I’d probably guess light-hearted romance. We did get quite a bit of that fluffy sort of drama with MC’s dad flashbacks. Anyway there are a few more girls in the cover art so I’m going to hold off on my best girl pick for now, but Ogata is winning by a long shot. Tho I wonder if we’ll get any more of this hardass from the intro scene? If we do she is going to call what Ogata and Furuhashi are doing hopeless and then the MC cuckboy is going to fire back with dad quotes.



Oh the cliches.





Final Verdict: Watch!



Well you think you know everything

Oni-chan -_-

I do like me some tan tho…
