Final Consideration

Synopsis: The premise is simple yet intriguing. It makes you curious about how the couple will manage to keep their relationship a secret. I also like that they start as a couple, rather than dragging out a romance that never develops.

Staff: While not a “premium” staff, each member has worked on relevant projects. Their prior experiences may bring something valuable to this anime.

Studio: The studio’s performance isn’t strong, and this may affect the production quality.

Voice Actors: The cast has decent experience, mostly with supporting roles. They’re likely to deliver an okay performance here.

Preview:  In less critical scenes, animation mainly focuses on eye and mouth movements. However, during key moments, there’s more noticeable action. Given the director’s extensive experience as a Key Animator, this seems expected. Overall, much of the show’s charm will rely on the voice actors to bring life to the characters.

The comedic elements didn’t resonate with me personally, but humor can vary greatly between viewers.

Conclusion: The anime is probably average or slightly below, but it’s still worth checking out the first few episodes. That said, those looking for higher production quality might want to skip this one.
