    6. Please Excuse My Younger Brothers — ?

    Slice-of-life about a girl suddenly finding she has four step-brothers. I've read the manga and I know it turns into a romance between her and the oldest step-brother. Which would be more of a turn off, except (a) the comedy works well, (b) she does everything she can to deny her feelings, and (c) denying her feelings leads to more comedy.

    My continuing to watch is entirely dependent on whether they can sustain the connection to the manga.

    7. Draw This, Then Die — 👍️️️

    Loved the first episode of this slice-of-life about a neurodivergent kid who is saved by manga (especially a certain one which was cancelled after only one volume) and decides to become a manga artist. The kicker? Her pain-in-the-ass teacher is secretly the mangaka of that special manga.

    8. Grow Up Show — 👍️️️

    A girl raised in a circus, who hates circuses, is forced to join a circus because of her deadbeat dad. You know, that old story. I'm hopeful for this.

    9. The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power – ?

    The first episode of this Cinderella romance story wasn't very good. Bad writing, IMO, and the animation was only meh. But it's good enough to give it the three episode test and hope. I'd like to like it.

    Adding a couple more, watched today.

    10. The Duke's Son Claims He Won't Love Me Yet Showers Me with Adoration — ?

    Another Cinderella romance with a faux historical setting. Kind of low key and without any standout features. It gets the three episode test.

    11. Rich Girl Caretaker — ?

    I didn't think I'd like this as much as I did. And yet it still gets the three episode test, because it was all setup and now I need to see if they can sustain the comedy with single basic joke.
