What They Say:
On the surface it seems as if Atsushi is an adult, but really he’s just an elementary student! However, he is paired with a second-year high school student Atsumi, whose height is just the opposite of his. These two together create an unusual relationship and will undoubtedly instigate some comedic antics in this slice of life comedy!
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
Summer vacation is here and we do have some things going on that are fun for us to watch, such as Sayo being so sad that Atsushi still hasn’t grown up so she can tell him how she feels. With it being summer, she gets plenty of reminders that he’s still a little kid with the way he acts, but talking into a fan is something that people should do at any age, not just as kids. And Sayo thankfully does try to connect with him on that level and has a lot of fun with it, which gets Atushi completely into it as should be expected. It plays out well enough and with some good laughs, especially since Atsumi walks in and just can’t figure it out at all.
In Summary:
Sayo’s interest in Atsushi is of course all physical at this point, but there’s also that chance that he can draw out some of her inner child along the way, which she needs to do. There’s obvious still plenty of issues to be had with ones morals and this situation, but it’s fun to watch how she tries to connect with him while praying that he will just grow up. Which, of course, gets misunderstood by others and could have some amusing effects down the road.
