The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
Ichika’s creepy factor is in full force right from the start here as she’s now stalking poor Tomoya. And poor Tomoya indeed as his friend can’t understand why he’s not excited to live with such a hot girl. Of course, we know the real deal and no matter what Ichika does, it can’t convince the other boys in the class that she’s just not right. Even worse is that a girl named Fujisaki has an interest in Tomoya and that sets a competitive edge as Fujisaki has a strong cruel and evil streak in her that you can see plainly on her face. While living with Ichika was going to be a big enough problem, you knew it wasn’t going to be restricted to just that and seeing more of the fallout is fun, especially since Ichika can manage a sweet side as well to really make Tomoya feel bad.
In Summary:
Tomoya’s life is not going to be an easy one as not only does he have the older and unrelated sister after him, he’s got a girl in his class that now sees Ichika as a threat. Tomoya continues to come across as a decent kid caught in a hard place and it’s amusing o see him tormented so, even if the things Ichika is doing are creepy overall but have some amount of safe distance to them. She’s pushing the line and obviously making him uncomfortable to be sure, but in a comedic setting like this there’s plenty of amusement with both sides. Fujisaki is likely to be in regular use to up the ante with things as Tomoya gets caught up in more and more problems with the women in his life.
