I quite enjoyed this show. A lot was going on in every single episode and thus it was never really boring.
I'd prefer Mimimi over "Hinata" too. Nothing wrong with Hinata, but it's pretty boring in comparison if you ask me.
Mimimi seems to be a fun character. At first sight, a typical "genki", but also enjoyable to watch because she isn't just that.
Gotta admit though, looks (long hair + ponytail) is making me biased.
But it's true that Kikuchi isn't much of an active character in this show, even during her arcs, so it's a bit of a pity move and the typical loner-meets-loner setup in my book.
It was, overall, a better "romance" show than Go-Toubun. Episode 4(?) had a really huge "cringe"-factor (when he faced Erika the "Queen Bee") in it that could've been handled much better and in a more awesome way and the whole "game" theme - and especially game "talk" - was a bit too much at times, but it was alright for sure.
Seems like this show went till novel no.3 by the looks of it? Can anyone confirm. I might pick this up over the easter holidays if it's only animated up to #3.
Going to root for Mimimi all the way - although two more obvious heroines are way more likely.
The drawings look sweet.
edit: ugh, nevermind, can't buy this in germany. Would have to find the fan translation or something.
