Kuroiwa Medaka ni Watashi no Kawaî ga Tsûjinai

High school girl Mona Kawai is uniformly adored by her fellow pupils; that is until Medaka Kuroiwa transfers to her school. He appears to be constantly angry and refuses to even look at her; she determines that she will get him to fall for her. She doesn't realise that he is a monk in training who has forsworn love. He is troubled by the fact that he knows he is far from impervious to her charms. Somewhat inevitably a rival for his affections emerges.

I thought this series was rather fun. It may be fairly predictable but it provided a good number of laughs and the characters are likeable.... More so as the series progresses. The characters are likable, with impressive leads and fun support. There is some fan service; not much but it may be enough to offend some viewers. The animation and character designs are pretty good. Overall I enjoyed this and would recommend it to fans of the genre. I was pleased to read that there will be a second season.

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

Oversexualised for no reason, unnecessary fanservice and such basic dialogue if i handed the concept to a 5 year old theyd come back with this. The accents in the dub are horrible, and whoever made the creative decision to use heavy western accents should rethink their whole life.

If you like egotistical lewd teenage girls with every boy trying to get up their skirt go ahead and watch this, the second i saw her show her panties i knew this would be unbearable, her attempts to impress kuroiwa have only revolved around being sexual and her body, really dissapointed considering i was looking forward to watching this aswell with no prior knowledge of it.

In short: I would not recommend watching the show as it is the absolute standard ecchi highschool romcom. The story can be summarised in one sentence: Highschool romance with the super popular hot girl trying to seduce the normal guy.

The series may be for you if:

• You havent watched highschool romcoms yet
• Or you dont mind if this is the "template " romcom with the classic panties and chest reveal, "accidentally" falling on another, forgetting an umbrella (and then sharing), misunderstanding each other etc.

The series is not for you if:

• You are annoyed with unnecessary fanservice
• You want to be surprised by the storyline (Series is 100% predictable)
• You want the ending to be open until the last episode
• You want character depth.
