Hot take time.

I fundamentally do not understand this series' popularity.

Long ago, I tried to read the manga. I found it boring. I stuck it out and read like 30 chapters. I was able to confirm that it is boring.

I get that a lot of readers find her super relatable because let's face it, anime fans have historically trended toward introverted, socially anxious types. But this has been done in more engaging other series. It's not strictly a comedy, it's not strictly a healing-type series, it's not a romance really, and it isn't a drama. It is an unfocused "all of the above."

The producers know what they're doing though. They doubled down and cast Koga Aoi (Kaguya-sama) to make cute noises. Another series with absurd popularity that doesn't follow through.

It's socially anxious bait.
