English Wataru is a realist! Why is Wataru a realist? Because he realizes one day that his "advanced pick-up techniques" of relentless stalking and neediness surprisingly don't yield the results he expects. Who would've guessed? It's hard to root for someone like that in real life. Meanwhile, the main heroine finds herself taken aback by Wataru's sudden change in behavior, perhaps slowly realizing that she misses him - she got used to him! Making it impossible for me to root for her either. It's a peculiar plot with new characters emerging, but their novelty wears off quickly for me. The situations that are supposed to be funny feel absurd, and the dialogue quality is often pathetic, making it hard to believe anyone would speak that way. By the second episode, I'd had enough, dropping the show. Whether it improves and becomes the romance of the season, I'll never know. I'm not sticking around to find out. I haven't fulfilled the three-episode rule so I'm leaving the show unrated, but it wouldn't get more than a 3/10 from me anyway. An unrealistic realist! ()
