(Average+) A Destructive God Sits Next to Me

Series in one sentence:
Cat kid is tortured by his delusional classmates.

Series in more sentences:
Seri wants to be left alone, but has a knack for attracting strange characters who live inside their own made-up fantasy.

The main perpetrators are the two childhood friends, Hanatori and Tsukimiya; the former who believes he's the reincarnation of a knight named Sturmhurt, with an evil god locked inside of him named Miguel, while Tsukimiya likes to egg him on for his own viewing pleasure.
After convincing Hanatori that Seri is his reincarnated partner in arms, the delusional boy refuses to leave him alone and unceremoniously dubs him "Gestöber the Hierophant of Ice".

Though Seri suffers many embarrassments because of the two, he still finds himself somewhat caring about Hanatori. Occasionally.

The plot on paper is really fun, but with some minor edits, I think this could've been a whole lot better. There were many set-ups for comedic moments, but it seldom took an entertaining route to the conclusion.
I was intrigued here and there, but wouldn't watch this again.

I liked the main character, Seri, but his thoughts were real repetitive. I think that was the point, but while the show explains why his awful friends are obsessed with him, I never got an explanation to why Seri stuck with them. His opinion of them is so bad, he worries he'll stab them to death one day. That's pretty serious, I'd say. So, why does he make a 180 whenever he sees Hanatori cry?

The show also hints that Seri's similar to his "friends", but this plot point was never explained, either. "He thinks he's special, that's why he wants to live a normal life"? Special, how so? What does this sentence even mean?

I also thought that the chibi art style was intrusive. It's pretty distracting to see a tiny fat-faced character standing next to a normally drawn one. Hanatori's character design especially rubbed me the wrong way. He was chibified/dumbified the most as well, even though he was shown to have good grades and started out as someone who cared about keeping up his cool act. Further on the series, this became less part of his character, and he would just sit there with his friends, being minimalistic and "cute".

Like I said at the start, I don't think much is needed to make this a more comedic, appealing watch, to the likes of Saiki K. even. It's something they could've considered for season 2, but the series is not popular enough to warrant more episodes, so this slightly above average show will remain its legacy.
