Anime Digest
Sueharu, a child actor, is the protagonist of Osamake (Haru). Following a horrific occurrence in his life, he has retired from acting and now attends school like any other kid. He goes to school, spends out with his buddies, and, most importantly, has crushes on girls. Haru’s current love interest is class bombshell Kachi. Haru’s preparations to confess crumble when he discovers she is already seeing another young actor at his school. To exact revenge on Kachi for breaking his heart, he enlists the assistance of his childhood buddy Kuroda Shida, and the two enter into a phony relationship to make Kachi jealous.
The Feel-Good Part
It sure has comedy elements in it. But that’s just it.
The Disappointing Factor
This show attempts to be witty but fails terribly. The artwork is bland, the animation is slow, the characters are annoying and corny, and the story flow feels like every other sentence of the script was ripped out. To avoid being generic, it lowers BELOW being generic. It provides nothing of value. There are numerous superior rom-coms other than this.
In-Depth Analysis
The plot revolves around Haru’s return to stardom, learning to accept his previous trauma and renewing his relationship with the world of fame. This narrative, however, is meaningless when it comes down to the unnecessary love connections between Haru and his many partners. The drama entices us by promising that the traditionally unfavored childhood friend character will triumph romantically now. Despite this, the show fails to disclose that practically every love interest has a childhood link to Haru. Sure, the childhood friend will not lose, but we still have little to no idea which childhood friend will win!
Star Power
The voice actors do just fine. At least, it doesn’t add to the degradation of the anime.
Overall Opinion
Overall, there is nothing special. You might enjoy watching it if you are looking for something to pass your time, but I warn you, it is corny.
