Hacukoi monster

What is love about? According to the clear message in this show, it is mainly about the fact that the other person must respect you and accept you for who you are, with everything that belongs to you. That simple message alone, which is very true, deserves some points. I am also going to throw in more points because, in those moments when the main male protagonist really gets it together as a boyfriend, it also works as a respectable love story. The rest of it, however, is just more or less bad. Are some bishies supposed to be eleven-year-olds? Well, if we can have thirty-year-old or even eighty-year-old fake Lolita girls, sure. No, that is not how it works! Clearly, the anime's authors must have done it that way because if there were little shonen guys instead of bishies, it would not have worked as a show aimed at girls or as a love story. Unfortunately, this show feels rather ridiculous, and as SonGokussj wrote, the moment in school when the protagonists were surrounded by their peers, i.e., real little boys, felt rather strange. The comedy was another thing that did not work. The jokes are, of course, mainly based on the bishie and his bishie-like friends acting like the little boys they really are, and also their interactions with the main male protagonist. Unfortunately, the humor is mostly childish, infantile, and silly. The show goes to extremes far too often, and the jokes about virgins and the overuse of the word "wiener" were funny for maybe the first episode. However, it looks like it is going to ride a similar wave going forward, just with a few more weird fetishes thrown in (little Renren). So First Love Monster is not based on such a bad concept, and some girls and love story fans might like it. However, I feel disappointed and I am quitting this after the seventh episode. The childishness and stupidity have already definitely overpowered and dominated the show rather than any love story. Drop after episode seven and 3/10. (09.07.2016)
