Convenience Store Boy Friends is an utterly mediocre romantic anime series about two couples finding their way to each other - one way is too long-winded and the other is too complicated. For the most part, the narrative is either fairly predictable or full of tropes, and even the intensely romantic moments that would make me feel something were woefully relatively sparse. The couple, Mishima and Mashiki, who I have renamed to "I am not going to squeeze it out myself" as a working title, were much less entertaining than Honda and the student council president. Even the supposedly emotional conclusion, which again contained a pretty traditional storyline resembling those from trashy romance novellas, could not change that fact. 5/10. (28/09/2017)
