Make Heroine ga Oosugiru!

Despite not understanding much about fleeting teen romance, first-year high school student Kazuhiko Nukumizu still wonders how he would react if his life were to be turned into a love story. Regardless, as a self-proclaimed "background character," Nukumizu is satisfied continuing his life as an introvert with a negligible social life. However, he suddenly finds himself too close to the spotlight when he witnesses his popular classmate Anna Yanami be rejected by her childhood friend in the middle of a family restaurant.

While Nukumizu wishes he could just forget what he saw and move on, Anna ends up forcefully confiding herself in Nukumizu, lamenting her status as a childhood friend fated to have her beloved stolen. As he becomes dragged into Anna's situation, Nukumizu soon gets caught up in the relationship drama of two more girls: Lemon Yakishio, an outgoing member of the track and field club; and Chika Komari, a shy member of the literature club. Now thrust out of his comfort zone, Nukumizu finds himself a major character in the lives of too many losing heroines.

So I love the concept of this anime because it is very aware of the loosing heroines trope in most of the romance genre. It essentially gives us a mixture of multiple romance characters loosing to their perspective main love rival and what comes after the loss. The MC is an average guy who is surrounded by all of these loosing heroines and it leads to some really great character development as he helps them deal with the aftermath of their rejections. If you are looking for any kind of romance you won't find it here. At least not in S1 as the whole purpose ... of this anime follows girls who literally got rejected and an average guy who all are apart of the literature club doing literature club shenanigans. I am hopeful for a S2 as I think that is where some of the potential romance could come in. It is kind of sad to think if this is setting up our MC for a relationship with one of these loosing heroines then that means all the others are GOING TO LOS AGAIN! Maybe they will keep it more about friendship if that's the case!

Mixed Feelings

All of the other reviews of this anime I came across touted it as "not like the other Slice of Life shows," that the writing was a step above and that the characters were better than your average high school romcom show. I disagree. Besides some above average production value and decent animation, this anime is exactly like every other Slice of Life anime you've ever seen in your life. The protagonist is entirely forgettable, the girls aren't that interesting, their conflicts aren't really that engaging, and the ending is somewhat unsatisfying.

If you like Slice of Life as a genre, you might as well check ... this one out too. Of its contemporaries, this is probably one of the better ones. Just don't expect a life-changing story out of it.

This anime is about a simp who orbits a bunch of reject girls who spend every other sentence negging him and openly ripping on how much of a failure he is and he just takes it. Theres a line between friends who rip on each other and w/e the heck happens in this show.

It normalize how much attractive women can just act like absolute garbage and theres always some guy who will white knight for them in a totally "platonic" way.

Otherwise there is some cute moments and some emotional moments but all of it gets overshadowed by the constant harassment if you even ... remotely pay attention.

Also the anime is filled with tropes and fan service.

Not sure why people praise this so much.
