Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?

Yu Natsume is a high school pupil who makes floral themed accessories; it is his dream to open a shop selling them one day. His parents are doubtful but tell him that if he can sell one hundred before a certain date they will support him. Himari Inuzuka has been a friend of his since they were both in middle school and she hopes to help him fulfil his dream. They are just friends but will it remain that way? Inevitably there will be some problems along the way and other girls will take an interest in Yu.

I thought this was an enjoyable series with likeable characters and a fun story. There aren't too many surprises but that doesn't really matter as it isn't the sort of story that needs them. I liked the main characters, finding them to be believable. The animation and character designs are good. Overall I'd recommend this to fans of romantic anime series; perhaps not a must see but it passes the time nicely.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Seeing people actually give this piece of s**t good ratings and reviews has me dumbfounded and baffled. Am i the stupid one here? Did we even watch the same anime, guys?

If you ever thought what it would be like to have every single bottom-of-the-barrel cliche, trope and awful writing decision you can find in a manga and/or anime (despicable main character, horrible side characters, toxic love triangle, manipulation, coercion, blackmail, atrocious humor, a pointless yandere-wannabe, plotpoints that go nowhere, repetitive excuses for "gags", confusing love with sexual lust, horrible story etc.) all wrapped up in a crap-stained bow, this is it! The worst of the worst! The absolute lowest denominator for how truly low a rom-com can stoop to. Answering the title with a simple "no" is just the tip of the iceberg here. You have no idea the kinda crap you're in for if you ever decide to sit through this! Every moment felt like torture! Every time you THINK something good might poke out from the shadows, you're once again hit with something awful, like the main girl character being a manipulative and toxic piece of trash! I don't wanna see this s**t! I don't wanna be rooting for a bunch of people who only use each other for their own selfish needs to end up together! If anything, they DESERVE to be left behind and forgotten! The ONE character - the ONE AND ONLY character! - who actually came close to being semi-decent and with two braincells to rub together (Himari's brother) gets turned into a wimpy punching bag at the end "fOr dA lOlz DEEEUUUURP!"

trash like this just come to show that not everyone should be a manga author - just because you CAN do it doesn't mean you SHOULD! - and i personally believe the creator of this pile of filth should never be allowed to do anything else! We're already dealing with way too much of Reiji Miyajima's creepy "Rent-a-Girlfriend" BS at this point. We don't need another wannabe weirdo in the rom-com mix!

So for the love of God, please stop giving trash like this a chance! Go read "My Dress Up Darling" or "Too Many Losing Heroines" or "Alya", or legitimately great romance stories like "Kaoru Hana". Just ANYTHING instead of garbage like this!

As an aroace person myself (aromantic asexual) I really got my hopes up when I found this. Everywhere you look, romance is central to so much media, and this one seemed to be about a platonic relationship between a boy and a girl.

All of the characters are fine, but jeez, Himari Inuzuka, the blue-haired girl is awful, just bloody awful. She's loud and annoying, has no chemistry with the main character Yu Natsume, she's possessive of him, always puts her wants and whims over his, teases, bullies, embarrasses, manipulates and lies constantly to him, and she's so toxic that I just can't understand why he doesn't ditch her, I know I would. Is this what Japan thinks aroace looks like?

Won't give this a score lower than 3 stars because the premise is actually very good, just the on lead who I hate more the longer she's on screen.

This anime is best for really compare to other this is best I saw many other anime but this we feel in our life experience.the complexity of platonic relationships between boys and girls. With its charming art style, emotional storytelling, and well-developed characters, this anime delivers a poignant and authentic look into friendship, adolescence, and emotional growth.

At its core, the story follows two childhood friends, Haru and Aoi, who have been inseparable since elementary school. As they enter their second year of high school, the pressures of social expectations, budding romantic feelings, and misunderstandings begin to test the strength of their bond. What makes this anime stand out is its refusal to take the easy route - rather than turning into a predictable romance or dramatic love triangle, it stays true to its premise: can a boy and girl truly remain just friends?

The story line is super character also good if I rate this anime 10/10 becoz there is life experiences and motive I wish this anime can be master like silent voices and other truly saying it's fantastiing if say 600 word for this is also not enough. Very niz.
