Here I compile 5 underrated anime into a list. Keep in mind these are series that I've personally enjoyed that I want to share. Hopefully the list is helpful in giving new recommendations  (These series are not ranked in any particular order) 1.

" I'm sure the trope of a girl being in love with a very dense guy is nothing new, however, this series makes this cliche quite entertaining. Although it is not plot heavy, the shenanigans that Erika has put herself through to get close to Kuzumi is very amusing, and honestly it has made my internally squeal in excitement and wanting more. The characters are also likable, even the love rivals ar
