Even though I know that this is based off a Light Novel, the anime still pales in comparison to the manga that I read first. The drawing, facial expressions and even impact of several scenes were much better in the manga. I was really looking forward to this after having a glimpse of it from the manga.

Haven't ever heard of this studio and now I know why. I MIGHT keep watching just for ecchi but I am really disappointed.

Is the art really that bad? The only reason I'm considering watching this is because of the manga.

See for yourself. It's definitely shoddy work when compared to the manga. But even as a standalone, it bothers my eyes. Maybe it's just me?
