Damn this visual is so bland im already bored just by looking at it. This is like the 2nd one this week. Hopefully the PV is a lot more convincing.

The concept of the manga seems really flimsy, how long is this marriage training project lasting that it's already at it's 8th volume?

And yeah, the visual is super bland compared to the manga art

Its actually a shame, the manga has really nice art. It's also a pretty decent love triangle rom com, but the studios lack of history worries me

Studio Mother generally consists of ex-Xebec staff members based on this show's staff.

All this complaints about the Key Visual, but I think it looks great. The female lead looks gorgeous.

She reminds me too much of the lead from Shikimori's Not Just A Cutie.

Just once I would like a series where mix gender leads aim to help each other with their crushes and actually succeed. Everytime they predictably fall for each other instead.

Might be the purple hair, but she reminds me more of Kouko Kaga for some reason.

Tomozaki-kun, I guess?

If the inciting incident is your protagonist meeting another character, the story is almost always going to be about their relationship with (A) the other character and/or (B) a new environment that the encounter leads them to enter.

Well, that's not over yet, and I don't know how the plot develops after the anime's ending.

That said, the setup isn't really a Toradora/OtaRia type thing to begin with.

I've read up tio volume 8 of tomozaki (the anime ended on 3), and Tomozaki is an excellent example of whats being described. Of course, like you said the story is still ongoing but so far

This very much applies to tomozaki.
