While some reviewers noted that the premise can feel slightly overextended, the series is generally lauded for its engaging animation and its ability to turn the classic romcom structure into a witty, personality-driven experience.

Why fans love it

Based on a comic, this 2022 original net animation takes a distinct approach to the romantic comedy genre. Rather than actively seeking out love, teenage protagonist Anzu prefers her simple, single life. The main engine of the show is the chaotic friction that occurs when a tiny matchmaking wizard intervenes, constantly trying to force her into clichéd romance situations against her will.

Fans appreciate the show's subversion of classic anime tropes, turning predictable setup scenarios into an energetic comedic battle. Anchor voice acting from Rie Takahashi brings extra punch to Anzu's relentless resistance. Surrounded by an expanding group of friends, her hilarious struggle to avoid standard romcom beats makes the series a standout entry in animated comedy.
