About Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!

Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! centers on three young women who keep missing the mark in romance, but refuse to stop trying. Anna Yanami is the warm next-door type whose love of good food gets her into awkward, funny situations. Lemon Yakishio is an athletic, confident presence whose bravado doesn’t translate into smooth dating. Chika Komari is shy and gentle, often overwhelmed by her own feelings. Episodes linger on small misunderstandings, clumsy attempts at confession and the comfort of friendship, letting character quirks and everyday moments drive the humor and heart without relying on big plot twists.

Created by Takibi Amamori and Masahiro Yokotani, the series premiered in 2024 and features voice performances from Shuichiro Umeda as Kazuhiko Nukumizu, Hikaru Tono as Anna Yanami, Shion Wakayama as Lemon Yakishio and Momoka Terasawa as Chika Komari.

Viewer response has been positive so far, with an 8.2/10 average from 59 votes. Reviews and fan comments tend to praise the show's mix of comedy and quiet drama, noting how it highlights the awkwardness of early romance and the ways friends support each other through repeated setbacks. Thematic threads include identity, the small rituals that reveal personality, and how vulnerability can be both embarrassing and endearing.

Even early on, the show has inspired lively online conversation about its imperfect heroines and relatable missteps. Fans often pick apart favorite scenes, especially those centered on food and school-life moments, and discuss which character they relate to most. That day-to-day realism and memorable character designs make it easy for viewers to share impressions, artwork and clips across social feeds.
