IF you get bored with the ecchi annd slapstick, the repetitiveness of situations and misunderstandings, the dumbness of the MC, the lack of character and story development (Madoka aside maybe),IF nethertheless you're still after some sweet, heart warming love story,THEN i'd humbly call out to your sense of enterprise and perseverance, or suggest to skip to 4k545c

The obvious and ittedly completely subjective reason for my disappointement is that i hated this onii-chan's...
