Synopsis
The romantic comedy follows Mariko, a plus-sized nurse who loves to eat. Having no love experience, she thinks her life is devoid of love, until she meets a handsome man named Nagi at a group date that she is invited to. Nagi then asks her out on a date. (Source: ANN)
Audience Consensus
The anime had a promising concept of showcasing a plus-sized girl in a genuine romance, but it ultimately fails in its execution. The low-quality animation and inconsistent character development detract from the initial intent. While the voice acting is appreciated, the overall experience leaves viewers disappointed, as the story abandons its unique premise for generic tropes.
Strengths
- Voice acting is well-done, especially the male lead.
- The concept of a plus-sized girl in a regular romance is good.
Weaknesses
- Low budget animation quality.
- Main character's personality shifts to a bland shoujo trope.
- Story fails to deliver on its initial concept.
- Love interest's endearment feels fake.
