Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie

We actually watched this one, little dude and I, back in the first part of August: Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie and finished it pretty quickly. 


It's a really sweet romantic comedy anime where the male lead Izumi is basically the unluckiest guy in the world. If he can lose it, he will. If it can fall on him, it will. But, as the anime starts, he's already counting his lucky stars because he's dating Shikimori, probably the cutest girl in school. Dude can't look at her without stars in his eyes.

But Shikimori isn't *just* cute. She's constantly saving his butt and going from brave to relentless to everything in between. 

And...okay, honestly, we both really enjoyed this one and the relationships between the characters but it's also not a show where actually a lot happens. It's just really sweet and adorable fluff. As I'm writing this, I'm trying to come up with major plot points...I mean, stuff happens, but that's not really the point? 

Anyway, it's charming. It's fun to see one where the girl is the saviour. We have no idea why Iuzumi is so unlucky, but Shikimori has his back. Was it worth watching? Yes. Might even watch it again. Also love the bromance and the weird deadpan tiny blonde friend.
