Giji Harem

Attachment 2107

"Kitahama Eiji joins the drama club with dreams of having a harem like the ones from his favorite manga. Nanakura Rin, an underclassman, finds herself crushing hard on Eiji, and tries on different personas in his presence to win him over. No matter how she acts, one thing is certain—her feelings for Eiji continue to grow stronger. Will she ever be able to tell him the truth and be herself?

Looks like we have another contender for the cutest rom-com this season, lest Russia go uncontested. The production is, admittedly, much more sparse, but the cuteness of the couple gets full marks. Eiji is a lovable goofball (the kind of dense who's dense about many things so it makes sense), openly telling his kouhai about his silly dream (every man's dream) of being in a harem once, and Rin takes him up on it, but it is played off really well and it's adorable how she mixes the acts with her own embarrassment and Eiji seldom missed a beat to play the boke with his enthusiasm for the different 'girls'. He even begins directing how they might react to assorted scenarios.

Definitely give it a watch if that you're clamoring for a fresh variation on the rom-com.
