center">Trying to Make Sense of Things<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>It&&num;8217&semi;s hilarious to think that all this happened in just three episodes&comma; and it’s clear to see that the anime&&num;8217&semi;s plot is not only absurd and overly complicated&comma;

Its format of storytelling is uncomfortably reminiscent of anime like Nisekoi &lpar;of which I abhor&comma; but I won&&num;8217&semi;t get into that&rpar; which provides elaborate reasons to introduce as many girls as possible in order to grab the &lpar;very targeted&rpar;
