#he already spoiled the general ending i think he knows i absolutely would've given up already without knowing it lol

my partner has been making me watch this "romance"* anime that's sort of cute but also extremely frustrating. He thought i'd like it b/c i love "enemies to lovers" tropes (especially the ones where they're constantly snarking at each other and the tension is PALPABLE) but this is the worst version of that.

It's very clear the otp are not really enemies, but are too proud to ask each other out b/c they're afraid to "lose" some fake binary "war of the sexes" so every episode they both just lose and i end up screaming at the screen "MAYBE IF YOU ACTUALLY TALKED!!" a lot.

there's bits that are cute that keep me watching b/c there's a third, silly character who keeps haplessly getting in the way of their stupid games and the whole show would be better if silly character dated the female lead instead (tbf i think most shows would be better if they were queer- the female lead *is* obsessed with silly character's body tho, it's not that far of a leap to ship it really) [*tbc, i like romance animes in general i just put it in quotes b/c this is not an enjoyable romance anime to me at all- i generally dislike "will they/won't they" plotlines esp when it pulls it out for SEASONS. like you're allowed "burning passionate we think we hate each other but really it's the opposite, will they ever get over themselves and be happy" for one season MAX before i start to get annoyed. Stretching it out till the end of series means nobody gets to enjoy this relationship]
