But thats for the manga. The anime is relatively more or less straightforward.

For the review I will be spoiling the first 2 episodes of the series.

Domestic Girlfriend is a series about a character who loses his virginity to some random chick named Rui. Something he then sort've regrets because he already had feelings for someone else. This girl in question being his teacher, Hina. Natsuo (MC) gains feeling for her as she figures out that he wants to write a story. So Hina is constantly pestering him for another chapter of his book while Natsuo gets flustered and slowly but surely gained feelings for her. Now the story actually starts when his dad actually marries another women giving Natsuo 2 step-sisters. Lo and behold the younger sister is the girl he slept with and the older sister is his teacher that he's in love with. Now he has to deal with both of these under one roof.

I have to say I am somewhat impressed by the series. Not just because of the 1.5 minute long sex scenes either. The series does far better job than I expected into making me like the characters. This is especially true for the trio of main characters. Natsuo isn't some deadbeat weirdo but is an interesting protagonist. Similar to the other 2 heroines. I think the author has done a good job of making me want to see how there story unravels. They aren't some God-Tier characters but they are fun and enjoyable to watch.

Likewise the romance of this series is very very fun. Dare I say its probably the best part of the series. I really liked listening and watching all the romantic tension unfold. I don't think giving a series bonus points just because it doesn't end at the dating aspect gives you bonus points. But It was still refreshing and entertaining to watch. I think the anime does a fantastic job of making me want to watch more and more.

The story as well does a good job of hooking you in. The MC is in love with Hina, Hina is dealing with her own love problems, Rui has no people skills but is slowly coming to terms to her feelings. At the same time all these feelings are clashing with each other making this into somewhat of a roller coaster. But its a fun Roller coaster where i can't wait to see what happens next.

I think the weaker part about the series is probably the last 2-ish episodes and the side characters. Alex especially felt very poorly placed and had no meaning. The rest were fine but again really it is only the gay barman that was fun.

Also the last episodes feel somewhat rushed. Even before i felt like the manga anime was skipping something. Now i have read the first 150 chapters of the manga but i don't actually remember the first 100 chapters at all. Some of it did come back but the parts that did was pretty what the anime adapted. Everything was happening much faster than it should and this resulted and the more serious scenes to have a more comedic effect rather than the intended one.

The final bit of issue for me was that the ending was open ended. It was more like "go read the manga pleb" rather than the anime trying its own ending.

Despite all of this i did enjoy the series. The series had well established characters and an interesting story that made me want to know what happens next. I think the anime had done its job of making me you know, enjoy it.

TLDR: It's not some masterpiece but its interesting and exciting enough to make me wanna know what happens next. At least more so than most of the other anime i have seen. 7/10
