I know that's exactly how they look and…I can't deny that is more or less what this show is. While Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!? It's just three characters who genuinely enjoy spending time with each other, and that friendship naturally builds into a romantic interest. They share a special interest that allows her to be more honest with herself as the show goes on. But even when these characters do show up, they never overpower a lot of those genuine romantic moments.
