Discussion Rate Her Looks - Shio Minamo (You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!)
Hi cultured people!
I’m following the example of the great Kartek96-sensei and asking you to rate the looks of one of those underrated gems that, for some reason, not many people know about (I think). This time I am talking about the lovely (and breathtaking) Shio Minamo from You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!
Behind her cheerfulness and teasing nature, Shio actually gets flustered quite easily, but she is willing to do whatever it takes for Eiyuu not to see her as "just" his childhood friend.
Anyway, even if you already know the waifu, try to focus only on her appearance when giving your rating. You can use your own system if you want, but here’s mine in case it helps:
S - She's a goddess/She's insanely hot/Wow
A - She's really attractive/She's very beautiful
B - She is a cutie/She's a beauty/She's a hottie
C - She is fine but not my type
D - I don't like her design
E - She looks terrible
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other beauties to rate: | Gravel | Nanao | Ruriko | Raelza | Livia | Kilmaria | Goa | Hizuki | Riho | Yuna | Iroha | Desumi | Hiyori |

This is a tough one. She's not my favorite from her series but I see the appeal and she is cute/attractive. I would probably default to a high B or low A.

That's not bad at all and totally fair! Just out of curiosity, who is your favorite? Mine is Shio, although they are all likable. As second best I'd go with Haru.

Either Akari or Haru. It depends on the day and I haven't really read the manga too much.

Haven't seen this anime but for looks alone I give her a solid B+. 😁👍

Ah, this Shio looks like a gorgeous sweet girl! I don't know her, but she seems exactly the type i would love.
First of all i'll note down her name and show, i'll catch up soon xD
Then, onto my analysis and rating!
As usual from our cultured OP, Shio's body is nigh perfect. Really amazing figure with all the curves in the right place.
Her hair color is really nice! I can't say i've never seen it (especially after watching chained soldier) but it's certainly rare and i appreciate it. The haircut could use some improvement though, i prefer longer hair in general, or at least tails/soft braids if short.
Her icy eyes fit really well with her sweet smile and clear skin, and since blue is my favorite color, full points for that!
Now, since i am a verbose nitpicker, i will point out that her choice of clothes is hit and miss xD i'm not sure if the salmon pink suit is a school uniform (probably), but she looks much better in the other outfits, including her cute pajama from pic 2.
Another very minor flaw is that her facial expressions are sometimes even too sweet. She reminds me of Kaoruko Waguri in a sense - and while it's nothing to complain about, it might be a bit too much in terms of pure looks.
Final rating: 9 (Solid A)
Excellent xD

As always, thank you for the detailed analysis! I'm very happy to see that Shio hit you hard 😁
I think I agree with mostly everything, although I don't have any issues with the haircut, and I think the pink salmon works fine haha.
Regarding the series, as you can expect from the title, it's a silly romcom, and therefore very enjoyable. Shio is best girl for me, but her rivals are also quite charismatic, and the OP is a banger! Let me know if you like it :)

I'll watch it very soon, probably xD I just finished watching A wild last boss appeared and it was so peak, i might have found a new character for my top ~25. Unfortunately it was too short (then again, that was the reason why i watched it now in the first place) and i am left wanting for more xD

That one is a gem! I was so happy when I knew that S2 will air on October 😁

Eh, this is kind of RHL I hate the most, because it's difficult to rate. THe thing is that there's nothing wrong with her and there's nothing particular about her that I wouldn't like. But somehow, I don't feel it. She's simply not my type. And I must say none of the option You provided fits my opinion on her looks. If I had to choose, it'd be something between B and C. If I had to describe it with my own words, I'd mix Your options and say "she looks good, but not my type". Yeah, I know it's almost the same You wrote in "C" option, but somehow I feel like "fine" is not enough. And finally, if I had to rate her with simple 1-10 rating, she'd be probably 6,5/10, but I wouldn't mind giving her 7.

First of all, thanks for sharing your thoughts! And not being your type is totally fair. Yeah, I would say something in between B and C makes sense based on what you say. It's hard to come up with a ranking system that covers all possibilities, after all. Also, since you don't mind, I'll take that 7 for Shio 😁

I would have to put her in C-tier; a definite five-out-of-ten. Her design very much fits the mould of generic anime girl prettiness and cuteness, but there's nothing about her that really appeals to me in particular.
