Cute episode with some adolescence drama sprinkled in! That was some dumb reasoning...

Grandma is pretty chill.

HANANOI WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Sonmus 1y
Decided to drop on episode 7, I'm getting a small idea why hannanoi is like the way he is but still I'm not getting the romance vibes I want and don't know, If I don't like the couple it's just hard for me to watch more episodes.
- BlessedBaka 1y
  Yeah I am not fully feeling the show as well, but I put it more to the fact that Shoujo doesn't seem to be the right genre for me.
  
  But I never drop shows so I will see it through to the end, I guess it will end up being okay-ish.
  Sonmus 1y
  I like to watch different stuff but with a soft spot for romance when they happen to be in the season since they have become quite rare.
  This one was okay-ish like you said but with so much good stuff I could be watching decided to stop on episode 7, I will still stop to see your feedback after each episode to see how this one went until the end.

  that's why I like this show. it's not typical boring cuty fluffy dromance. it looks like true, real romance. it gives me a little my own private life vibes. mystery, different, weird vibes...
  Sonmus 1y
  My problem with the show is not being realistic or not, since I watch anything as long it is good. My problem is me not liking hannannoi or not feeling like cheearing this couple, the way they go with the romance it's fine, and sometimes really cute but not liking the couple I makes it harder for me to watch, just that, also not important or relevant in the decision but the animation has been droping or is more noticible, I was noticing in this episode their faces but you can even see it more when hottaru rushes outside to hug hannanoi, but yeah the animation is just a detail not that matters.

  then drop the anime if you dont like hananoi… you cant even spell his name right i couldnt be bothered to even continue reading whatever else you said lol
  just drop it and leave no one gives a shit
  Sonmus 1y
  Already droped, and chill man, this is a forum to comment oppinions, being them positive or negative and trying not to be rude, If you can't handle negative oppinions because you love the anime just don't read them, it's not that I am right or wrong, it's an oppinion and just take it as that.

ahhhh, finally we got story of Hananoi... I thought it would be more dark, but it's really simple. I think there's sth else here

they are together!!!! <333 my baby Hananoi is happy ^_^ crying
- Kisetsky 1y
  Yeah I don't think this is the whole story. I think he has more going on. Starting to recognize some patterns I may have fallen into in high school. That lead to...not great relationships.
  Natison 1y
  ohh.. that's interesting, I wonder what he did
- CallMeYuu 1y
  I literally cried while watching this episode <3

So Hananoi has parental issues, huh? I was expecting there to be more. But now I'm kinda used to Hananoi. Seeing him and Hotaru like this is way nicer than the strong initial impression he gave off. They even did the classic trope of the male lead showing up at the female leads house!
Kisetsky 1y
I could not enjoy the happy parts of this episode, it was just too ominous! Like these warning sirens are blaring in the back of my mind and they're like "I love you!" and I'm just....waiting for the shit to hit the fan. Hananoi is so stressed, I think he knows he has these destructive patterns but hasn't figured out how to address them yet. He's just like, I'm warning you now, but I don't think she really understands what he's warning her about. I'm starting to recognize some of the patterns he's warning her about though. Especially from a high schooler. This was like, how I saw romance back then. I don't think he's bad, or malicious or whatever people think about him, but I think he's really troubled and probably doesn't know how to have a healthy balanced relationship. Like, he's basically saying "I'm gonna be codependent with you." But Hotaru has no experience so... The stress and intrigue riding under the wave of this story is spurring me on, through the not-so-good animation. I mean, the show is called "I'm addicted to you" or whatever, so I think it's gonna boil over at some point.

Hananoi is afraid of himself, which is why he tried to push Hotaru away, not realizing how much he has changed since he met the girl, it was Hotaru herself who made him understand.

I mean it's still wholesome but idk... something feels off and it starts to tick me off
CallMeYuu 1y
this anime turns out to be quite good
I had a bad feeling when watching the first few episodes, but I really start to love them two <3
AnhernSarsalor 1y
so that's the big reveal? neglectful parents, we could tell since the second episode.

I hate hananoi a bit less, but not that much. his feelings are a bit easier to understand but his actions at the beginning not justifiable.
Znichka 1y
Like some people here, I'm frustrated with this show and just can't really root for the main couple. No matter how many romantic moments they might have, I don't see them as cute or heartwarming because of the dynamic the two have: Hotaru being inexperienced in romantic relationships, and Hananoi being, well, the way he is. Even with the reveal of his parental issues in this episode, it doesn't really justify him for me. I feel like an unconventional romance story could've been executed better. Also the animation is hella cheap (￣～￣;)
Yuukimeister 1y
the romance couldn't be any more artificial and boring
Chipi1016 1y
"I want you all to myself" is a cue to run hard and fast.

Talking about it seriously for once, though, I don't like how this show keeps romanticizing and excusing his behaviors. ep 7 in particular seemed to be super manipulative on his part... "hey, I'm going to be super controlling. I'm going to ghost you until you agree that that is what you want" That's what I got from it.

If there is some actual reason for his behavior that is not just the show confusing toxic for sexy, then I feel like the audience should have gotten it first instead of asking us to be okay with all these red flags and still watch as a romance. As it stands, I watch it in the same way that I watch an accident on the side of the road, with morbid curiosity. Nothing here is romantic to me.

Man continues to be a parade of red flags.
He needs therapy more than he needs a girlfriend, but hey unpaid emotional labour is what women are in shoujo stories.

Gotta say Hananoi is quite annoying name to hear 20 times per episode
