"* Based on a romantic comedy manga by Fujichika Koume.

With the new school year comes a new homeroom, new classmates, and a new desk for the timid Komura. But any trepidation he might've felt quickly dissipates when he catches sight of Mie, his new seat neighbor. Apt to quietly blurt out the most random things, the quirky Mie wears thick glasses that accentuate her lovely eyes, making Komura's heart skip a beat! Unfortunately, Mie is pathologically forgetful and can never seem to remember to bring her glasses to class. It's not all bad, though! Her resulting squinty, mean-girl face sends Komura's heart into overdrive too! While Komura is keen to help out and share his textbooks with Mie, will his heart give out from the almost daily strain of being up close and personal with his crush?!

...Might as well do the other Go Hands show this season. Production wise, it is about the same as the cat show... overreaching but ultimately watchable. In the first episode, it feels like they reaaaaly tried to emphasize her hair's animation, but to unintentially comedic effect.

What a nothing burger of a show. Guy likes girl- girl is legally blind and honestly pretty dumb. Like, low-functioning slow. It's not just that she manages to forget her ability to see on the regular, but she has not at all adapted to low visibility, and can apparently mishear people when she can't visually recognize them. It is cute seeing Komura overthink protecting Mie from herself and it hasn't gotten old yet, I suspect it will soon become tiresome. That said, I commend the actual progress happening in these first 3 episodes and the story doesn't try too hard to shut out the rest of the world. It benefits from the wide angle view here (pun). If you have to pick, the cat show is more entertaining, but this could be far worse for being empty calories.
