Shintarou Tokumitsu is a high school boy who lives in a studio apartment. He lives there by himself, so he’s shocked to find a girl he doesn’t know sleeping on his balcony. This is so unexpected that our protagonist falls on the ground, dropping his mug in the process. Unfortunately, the contents of this mug fall on the young woman. Thankfully, Shintarou is kind enough to lend her a t-shirt while her clothes are drying, but not before the anime makes clear that this series will be of the ecchi harem variety. I’m afraid to say that this is where his hospitality ends. Seeing that his shift is about to start, Shintarou quickly sends Towa off to fend for herself. But while Shintarou is working, Towa meets a man who seems to have less than pure intentions with her. So instead of an inconvenience, Shintarou now perceives her as the damsel in distress he’s supposed to save. But his heroic instinct is quickly checked by his fatigue. Somehow he still makes it back to his apartment, together with Towa. After seeing that others might take advantage of this good girl’s naivety, Shintarou changes his mind and offers to let her stay in his apartment after all. One detail Shintarou finds a bit odd, however, is that Towa says she’s an angel and has wings to prove it. That’s something to worry about later, though. Things being as they are, Shintarou doesn’t have all the food, clothing, and other necessities his new companion might want. The rest of the episode shows them solving this issue.

As someone who’s not a fan of the ecchi/harem genre, it’s difficult to judge an anime like this objectively, but I’ll make an attempt. The animation and music are all of sufficient quality. So are the voice acting and character design, although they’re not anything special either. But those more tangible qualities are hard to appreciate when the plot and dialogue are so cliche. The protagonist is the same overly shy and stuttering male protagonist we see in every other ecchi/harem anime. Meanwhile, Towa doesn’t really have a personality either. I find it difficult to imagine that even fans of the genre could find something so basic entertaining. Sure, there is an appeal to living with a pure girl like Towa. But there is a balance to be made between fanservice and telling an interesting story. Many anime seem to do well despite being very far on the fanservice side. This anime is not one of them, though, so I don’t recommend it. I won’t be continuing this anime either.
