Somewhat funny, and so cute it could be my baby cousin. Not a must watch, but not a bad watch either.

I couldn't go a minute without breaking into Cuteness Proximity mode.

Seeing them playing i the snow WITHOUT PANTS. Was a horrble experience. Seriously. I think whoever did this has a bad idea of what snow implies. (I mean, even if you assume it's a couple degrees + you don't want to get snow on your bare skin, especially not your legs like that!)

They're hardcore, man. Just look at their snowball fight.

Watched the first episode. That arcade reference was amazing.

I'm not even into fighting games and I know about this.

Not that many are watching this, it seems. I'd consider this one of the, if not the only, underrated show(s) of the season.

I think some things are self-evident at this point: that Io is a natural-born lady killer (how he can be this smooth at so young an age) despite being as dense as a brick, and Tsumiki is beyond adorable.

There's probably a bunch of people who do watch, but aren't bothering to discuss this show, since there really isn't much to discuss.

I always like seeing Io make the girls nosebleed. "You will be even more beautiful tomorrow than you are today." Seriously, there is no way that guy could say lines like that and still be so romantically dense.

Since I don't watch much anime (and I read the manga first for series like Lucky Star & K-ON anyway), I ended up reading the Acchi Kocchi manga. It's... cute. I think this is the first series I've read which while jumping on the bandwagon Lucky Star drove for a while also aims to include "romance" aspects.

Hrm. I swear there's a better word than romance, but I can't seem to think of it. :/

Cute Fluff? Romanticised hijinks? Moe comedy?

Episode 11: Did I just see our resident stoic cool guy bishonen get infatuated?

No, just embarrassed because he finally realizes what everyone else has been seeing for the whole series:Tsumiki is criminally cute. Surprisingly out of character for him, as it's the type of thing he's either ignored or rationalized differently before.

Is episode 13 new, or am I just really, really slow?

Cute as always, though.

It's new. And yes it's cute.

I find the anime to be much more entertaining overall than the parts of the manga I've read. I picked up the manga out of curiosity while following the anime on the tube and I must say this is one of the few cases I know where the characters really benefited from Flanderization. The Ace Io, Cosmic Plaything Sakaki, Tsumicat and Mad Scientist Mayoi offered far more laugh out loud moments than their counterparts in the first few chapters of the manga in part because I could kind of see how each situation would work out (or not) for each of them based on their personalities.

Still can't figure out why they gave the "Nya" to Mayoi but it grew on me in the end.

Oh yeah, nosebleeding Tsukasa gets me every time.

Yes manga couldn't handle it as well as anime

The manga is a little meaner, really, so it's kind of expected that there's more cutesy stuff in the anime.

I generally prefer manga. Is the anime of this really that much better?

I think they're about equal, really. I sometimes prefer the manga, sometimes the anime. If you liked the manga it probably wouldn't be wasted to see the anime. If you don't really care it probably would.

The manga doesn't have the nifty and occasionally really clever cut-ins, the reactions aren't as dramatic or as varied and the slapstick is much more subdued. I haven't seen the latest chapters, though.
