A bunch of children get superpowers and then nothing happens.
Series in more sentences:
A high school literature club is randomly gifted superpowers one day, but as there's no reason to use them, more "every day" struggles enter their lives.
The biggest joke of the group, Ju, loves his pointless power and likes to pretend to be a comic book anti-hero, still, his fellow club members show a fondness for him and wish to be something more in his eyes.
As you can guess from the description, this is somewhat of a mess. Not unlike another anime I reviewed a short time ago, called HINAMATSURI, this show also introduced a supernatural plot and immediately abandoned it for a story that could've been told using normal people.
It had decent characters and interactions, I was hooked enough, but why were they given superpowers if the story couldn't develop itself into more than a basic harem high school anime? These kids rarely used their powers and the story mainly revolved around the boy and how his friends are secretly in love with him, despite his disliked cool guy act.
There were alot of interesting ideas, but nothing got fleshed out. If this anime is scheduled to get a second season, I don't think this one did a good job setting things up, it was horribly constructed. Even the romance, the one thing it seemingly cared about, was lacking.
The redhead was the only girl in the group who had a perceivable crush on Ju, the others teased him and acted more like sisters. When I learned the reason for their feelings, it somewhat made sense, though the youngest and the eldest felt shoe-horned in.
But alright, was it a worthy watch? I didn't regret turning it on, I don't think many people will, but there are better high school romances out there. This was a fraction of a better story. A fraction of a fraction, rather.
