Aw man based on the anime it seems like it doesn't waste time. What a shame. Can't be worse than Kanojo, Okarishimasu.....?
With it doesnt go anywhere I meant there wasnt really a plot going forwards or anything. I would say it almost felt slice of life? Anyways its not comparable to Rent a gf at all so dw. Its still Sweet too
I have really liked this show so far. It does move super quick to start out with the main pair. I haven't read the source, but I think it is likely going to be a bit slower now as the ensemble is introduced and establishes itself. So far, the cast has been a bunch of fun and I have enjoyed it.
I wouldn't compare it to Rent a GF at all. Having read way, way more of that series than I should have, the character in Polar Opposites are actually likeable and endearing. Nobody in this series is frustrating in the way that Kazuya or Chizuru are.
Dude you and me both....I read EVERYTHING from K.O up to a few months. Wow. When she rejected him officially I was done.
It's obvious the mangaka doesn't have anything else to fall back on so they're doing to drag this out forever until sales start to drop
