Ugh……. My little monster is a convoluted slice of life show that makes you want to rip every hair on your head out while being inexplicably being drawn totally into it. Only after taking the time to think about the how everything works together I came to the conclusion that this is a Kawia (cute) series and I’d give it a 4 star (out of five). Despite one or two episodes that introduce a bit of background and don’t give much explanation, this is a solid series. You’ve got a overly dedicated bookworm almost literally, how is being fawned over by the delinquent that also happens to be a genius and the only one smarter than the bookworm Shizuku. After getting through a couple of episodes though and after Haru (the delinquent) pronounces his love for Shizuku and she starts to have feeling for him while finally coming out of her impersonal and studious shell. This whole series is about two of the most unsocial and violent (both of them I mean it) high school students accepting their own feelings and beginning to expand their views on life around them. All the while the most awkward people in their school all begin to congregate and become friends through the most unlikely of circumstances. If you like a back and forth love story this anime is the one for you. However it is a bit tenuous to watch so if you do like a fast character development this anime just might not suit you because it takes till the end of the series for the main characters to make any real improvement.
