Not sure about this one just yet. I like the idea of short stories about an ensemble cast, but there was just too much focus on Rurika and Murata. It all felt very pandery toward the current trend of waifu-who-bullies-you, which like, that’s cool for the people who are into that, but that’s not me, lol. The story about the security guards really got me, though, so I can see this ending up being a good time. It really depends on the ratio they settle on as the show goes forward. I give the premiere a mixed 3/5.

Where did you get bullying in their interaction?

She teases him in every interaction they have. “Bullying” might be a bit of an overstatement, but she’s in the same vein as Nagatoro and Uzaki is what I’m trying to say (and I’ve often seen people who are horny about that kind of archetype call it bullying).

My interpretation is that she is just clumsily flirting. Nagatoro I agree 100% with you, but here I don’t get even a whiff.

You’ve nailed it. At worst, it’s a mild teasing, unlike Nagatoro, which is closer to straight up bullying.

My point was that it’s a very specific style of flirting that feels very pandery to me
