So, yeah, why clickbait? Someone who had watched that anime gave the "clickbait" comment for this anime. No, it's not me. OK, for you to understand the comment, you have to watch the anime until the end for yourself to get the reasoning behind that. OK, let's start!
WARNING:-
SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!!
P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned. Don't blame me for being spoiled if you INSIST on continuing to read this post.
Introduction
The anime that I'm gonna talk about is Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai (in Japanese, 多田くんは恋をしない) or in English, Tada Never Falls in Love. Anyway, it is a Japanese romantic comedy anime television series produced by Doga Kobo. This is not an anime that is adapted from an existing literature source of the same name but an original work by the aforementioned studio. It was aired from April 5 to June 28, 2018, and is licensed in North America by Sentai Filmworks. Well, since this is an original animation, there is not much background story to it so...let's move on!

Plot
The story starts with our MCs, Tada Mitsuyoshi and Teresa Wagner (which is not her real name. Yes, she lied). Tada was taking pictures somewhere in Japan (duh, of course) and he saw a blonde hair girl who is obsessed about the fictional anime by the name of Rainbow Shogun. Weird name for an anime. Anyway, the girl's name is Teresa Wagner (as she calls herself as for the most parts, the last name is not the actual last name).

At the point of time when they first met, the cherry blossoms trees in Japan in full bloom! Beautiful... *
Imagining things now*...I would like to see cherry blossom in full bloom one day...Ahem, OK, ANYWAY, let's move on.

| The two of them 'locked' in time... |
Later, Tada found out that she is lost and needs to be guided to her hotel after being separated from her travel companion, which we'll talk about later. Tada brought her to his house, which is also a coffee shop that just beside the hotel that Teresa and her companion lives, Grand Palace Ginza. Her companion soon found her in the coffee shop. That companion is Alexandra Magritte, or often called as Alec. She is actually also her bodyguard. Ijuuin Kaoru also got to know them on the same day and got a serious beating for trying 'court' with Teresa (or so she thought).

The day after, Tada and his best friend, Ijuuin found out that the two of them are enrolled in their school as an exchange student and are in the same class. Since they are required to take part in club activities, they went together with the class representative, Hasegawa Hinako to check out on different clubs. After quite a ruckus in the Photography Club, Teresa and Alec (being dragged along by Teresa) to join the club. The special daily life of the Photography Club existing members with Teresa and Alec STARTS!

Along the way, Teresa and Tada fall in love with each other. Yes, I have spoiled the story...whatever. I had told you that I will spoil it anyway. Anyway, that Tada who has never fallen in love before later had decided to confess to her after she left Japan. The details of this whole incident...OK lah, I will tell you! Wait...you know what? You should go and watch it yourself. There are a lot of funny and light-hearted events that happened along the way so yeah, you should go and watch it yourself.

Anime Rating
Story (Rating: 9/10)
Great story overall. Straightforward, easy to understand. Although the ending is not as bitter as I thought it would be, I like it since it is a sweet ending. The details of their daily life as a member of the photography has a lot of light-hearted moments and funny moments.

Art and Animation (Rating: 9/10)
Great art, beautiful animation style! What more do you want? Plus, the animation is quite consistent and the characters look quite good. What more do I ask for?

Sound and Music (Rating: 8/10)
Soundtracks? Well done. OP song? Catchy as I think what all OP should be (unlike the lousy OP of Rakudai Kishi). ED song? Slow...beautiful like what ED song are usually (probably the exception is Chuunibyou). So, I have no problem with it.

Characters (Rating: 9/10)
The interaction between the characters is pretty funny. Although the story started to move into a more sombre tone at the closing stages of the anime, the character's interaction is still pretty good. There is character growth but mostly confined to the two main characters of the show. The characters are quite likeable even though not moe though. Great overall.

Enjoyment (Rating: 10/10)
Did I enjoy watching it? Yes, even though I thought that the story will end on a bittersweet note, but well, nope, it didn't happen as I thought but never mind, I like it, nonetheless. That's the kind of ending most people (including me) likes. Sweet and nice ending.

Overall Rating: 9 (8.75)/10
