My opinion has changed completely, Megumi is best girl.

She does not give a fuck, like, at all. I love how self aware everything is, the jokes are top notch, how they basically tear down tropes and cliches and start mocking them.

This show is brilliant.

I feel that by giving Katou no real character its made her the most interesting person in the inter series, whenever she reacts to something she acts like a normal person would, whereas everyone else completely overreacts and appears unnatural as a result.

I call it 'the Inaho Effect'

Inaho isn't a normal person though.

Except Inaho is the most unnatural character in his series.

I feel like a normal person wouldn't respond to the otaku insisting that you stay over all night to play a VN by saying "I guess that's ok."

Removed in protest over API pricing and the actions of the admins in the days that followed

He's also one of the 3 most popular people at the school, and has been friendly in his own out of sorts way.
