Its not usual to see the genre romance paired together with the shonen demographic, but when they are, its usually in reference to a major hit like Horimiya. That is not the only factor that makes the romcom special, though. The source material for this anime is a webcomic that is in a 4-koma format, which is to say, each chapter is made up of only 4 panels. This inevitably makes the story feel more like a comic strip than a cohesively placed narrative, making it almost impossible to watch the anime in the same order the comics were released.
