This is a short anime based on not-so-short manga. The manga consists mostly of short 4-panel strips mostly, interweaved with longer stories arranged traditionally. And the anime follows that with 12 10-minute long episodes. There's no overarching plot. Episodes are self-contained. There is the beginning and ending however, which is important given the format. If you need more, you can hop on the manga train and get more.
That aside, this is one of the nicest series I've seen. And by that I don't mean it's overflowing with cuteness, moe, pouring sugar into your eyes and ears and all that. It's just reasonably nice and it doesn't try too hard.

This is literally Komi can't communicate, but in a different manner. Nanako can't speak so she writes poems and expresses herself and Komi writes in her notebook and expresses herself. I feel it is aimed at an audience who are really depressed and want their empty souls to be filled with something, just anything would do. It uses an entire literary genre as the focal point for its story, and not once does it feel contrived or like it's trying to maintain a shit just for sticking out. The opening and ending themes were great at the very least. It bodes well with the premise. While cheesy in some ways, it is a harmless watch.

Senryuu Shoujo is the literal definition of "do much while having less". Having read the first chapters of the manga, I dropped it at chapter 4 because I didn´t actually like 4-koma style. I felt like moments were disconnected and that dragged the manga back. Luckily I found these adaptation and decided to give it a try. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed.
We get a really nice story between Nanako, one of the purest and nicest waifus ever to exist, and Eiji, a great supporting dude with a nice heart. The events happening are great, really felt inmersive and well-redacted, on the other hand of the manga version. We see a nice development of the relationship while meeting great characters, without anything really special, but being very enjoyable.
Art style and drawings were nice,…

Very simple and very cute, it's just one of those shows you just watch without having to think much. The characters are likable and they all have their moments. It's not one of those shows that will wow you but it's just a simple slice of life anime.
I enjoyed it for it's simplicity. Doesn't try too hard to be more then what it is presenting to us and it is something that just fun to watch. It's cute, it's funny, it's light hearted and it's short. So if you just want a simple plot with simple character enjoying each others company, it's worth a watch.
It's not gonna wow you or anything special, it's just a cute adorable anime.

Looking for something that can put you in a good mood? Senryuu Shoujo is THE show.
Although being very short (10 minutes episodes, 12 episodes in total) Senryuu Shoujo fills perfectly every single moment of its episodes.
It's a light and funny show, very well balanced in themes, bright in the animation and brilliant in the story; maybe not too realistic, but indeed enjoyable to its very end.
The characters are great, even if not well developed (due probably to the lack of screen time), they are easily perceivable. Also they include hidden gems such as Eiji, a breath of fresh air compared to other male lead characters in this kind of show.
The only 2 things that upset me of this anime are the lack of other regular male characters and the fact that there isn't a season 2 (yet).

This anime really turned my gloomy day into a happy one . I had watched anime non stop for 2 months and was bored so after many days I picked this up and I was really glad that I did, it made me fall in love with anime again thanks to the creators of this anime . It really made my day
Story is kinda unique and really enjoyable and funny, the characters and their expressions are are top notch I would rather say it has the best face expressions out of all the anime especially Nanako , I couldn’t keep my eyes away from her.
I had completed this anime in only one sitting

This is a show you could call generic cute girl show, but however that's not the hole truth. The show could have started from where the 2 main character got to slowly know each other, but it went for different comedic approach instead of slice of life(which it still is I guess). This idea stems from the fact that even though it's a comedy I laughed or overall smiled maybe once or twice. I didn't count but not many times overall. I can't say it would have been better that way, but I could probably rate this show higher if it had invested more on the story/drama aspect and executed it properly.
The story wasn't that original it was largely seen in other school animes however it didn't really bother me in this particular show since the episodes are very short, about 12 minutes including open…

This show is sweet. If you're looking for something to watch and in the mood for the most innocent and sweet main character that sees the best in everyone and everything, this is the show for you.
If I wanted to describe this show in a single word, it would be adorable. Just like the main character.
If you want to analyze what happens, you will get themes of isolation, friendship and not judging a book by the cover, or listening to rumors.
Personally, I just wanted to watch this show for the absolute cuteness of the main character and didn't want to think too hard.

Senryuu Shoujo is a lovely little show. It has a simple premise: an essentially mute, shy waifu (Nanako) is only able to speak through written poems, and the episodes chronicle her time with her hooliganish friend (Eiji). The show is essentially a gentle, wholesome slice-of-life with some good comedy and some cute romantic undertones.
The art is cute. It is not ultra-detailed, but I found it charming. There is a funny effect where nobody has a complete mouth when their lips are closed, though it didn't bother me. I think it fits with the show. The characters are drawn very nicely in my opinion, and I liked the character designs.
The sound is great! I can't stop listening to the OP haha. I also really like the voice acting. Nanako's (internal) voice is very moe <3.
In addition to Nanako…

My expectation towards this anime is not high, is a short and simple anime for me, that's why is quite enjoyable. Common art style. Cute and simple storyline make you feel comfortable towards the end. The only flaw I would to say is it didn't tell us much detail about Nanako develop incapable of speaking (mutism), other than that is quite sweet and enjoyable short anime. Character: you know chemistry between nanako and eiji is kidda okay and sweet. Overall, if you in the mood of watching short anime to pass some time, this anime will be satisfy you. Score = 8 (short anime)

One of only 2 animes that I'm watching this season. Yes you heard me right, I'm only watching 2 animes this season(the other being Senko-san). If I were to put it, Senko-san is for the relaxation while Senryuu Shoujo is all about the enjoyment seeing the relationship between Nanako and Eiji blossom.
Story: Senryuu Shoujo's story revolves around writing Senryuus, which are unrhymed Japanese verses which is used in poetry and follows our 2 love birds, Nanako and Eiji in their blossoming relationship as the anime progresses. But that's not all. We have Amame, Kino, Koto and Tao who support Nanako in her quest to win Eiji's love for her through shits and giggles :v. It's a simple story for a somewhat romance anime. What impresses me the most is.... Nanako's innocent smile and personality but…

Honestly, I really, really, really hate writing scathing reviews. Nonetheless, I also understand that when such reviews are presented as constructively as possible, it would reach the proper ears and eyes and may bring about better anime in the future. Here it goes... Senryuu Shoujo is a whimper of an anime.
Looking at the most reviews on MAL, I deduced of which the generally high scores were most likely influenced by the heroine's femininity and not, ironically, her Senryuu-writing journey. The heroine, Yukishiro Nanako, can only communicate with Senryuu writings (poems with 5-7-5 syllables), most likely due to past bullying issues, but soon she finds her fellow kindred spirit in former yankee Busujima Eiji. Looking at this premise, various interesting scenarios could occur and be follow…

This anime was so adorable and funny!! The dad was dramatic yet funny, a lot of interesting and unique supports, funny in their own right. I really enjoyed this show, if you love rom com shows highly recommend this.
Its a bummer the episodes are short, REALLY want to see more, see how their relationship develop further in the school year. The main girl is just too precious and the main guy clueless at first but starts to pick up quick though still in denial. If the show gets another season with a bit longer episodes i can see this develop into an instant hit, get more out of the story i believe.

[Short - spoiler free review]
Senryuu Shoujo follows the story of a young girl that has difficulties communicating normally like everyone else and her sweetheart crush that is actuality a kind soft guy rather then the punk he seems to be on the outside.
Overall the story is not anything special and done only to put these two lovebirds together.
The art was decent and enjoyable but it lacked some brightness for me to pump the rating up.
The sounds were great and the characters were pretty good to listen too, with one of my fav voice actresses being there.
The characters were overall pretty simple and great but im going to give it a higher rating cuz man i relate too much too Nanako's father...
Overall i found the show pretty enjoyable and its probably best watched with >o< this type o…

I'm a huge fan of the manga series, and having just passed ch.100 show no sign of slowing down. Art-wise of the manga, this show hasn't made a totally successful transition to the animated format.
The movement is pretty janky and the costs kept to a minimum are pretty glaring.
The voice acting is exactly how I anticipated the characters to sound like, and the characters themselves were brought over from the printed version as I thought.
The story carries up to a snowy and convienient stopping point and the most important things are covered. Obviously some things get missed out, but with the wealth of material from the 4-korma this wasn't surprising.
7/10 is pretty fair I think - good, will appeal to fans of the manga. Newcomers, go read the manga first as this won't be a full represent…

Senryu ( 川柳, literally river willow), a Japanese form of short poetry similar to haiku in construction (3 lines with 17 syllables)
Yukishiro Nanako "speaks" in senryu and she has a crush on delinquent (not really) Eiji Busujima voiced by Tasuku Hatanaka and along with the president of the literature club Amane Katagiri voiced by Sayuri Yahagi, brings in some quirky characters like herself and if the will they, won't they with Eiji and Nanako will ever progress.
Spring 2019 gave us something similar with Joshikausei but this time with senryu and to be honest both are decent to solid concepts for an anime short. Senryu Shoujo's main focus are on the relationship with Nanako and Eiji with the gimmick of Nanako speaking in senryu. There are other quirky characters like Nanako like Tao Hanaka…

I would not say that I was disappointed with the anime, I expected more when I read the synopsis, but it has its super charismatic and exciting moments, but also when you think, "Why is not it over yet?", It is not an anime dragged but sometimes it's not what you expect, especially with all the sneaking done in the work, I ended up evaluating the anime in 8 by the cuteness of the main character who is extremely captivating, even though it's a bit bizarre she does not want to talk to anyone for pure caprice, and this is left to be desired for spectators who demand more explanations of certain things.

What is senryuu? Broadly speaking senryuu can also be interpreted as "haiku" or rather modern poetry more or less like that.
Tells about the life of a cute, cheerful girl named Nanako Yukishiro. He has flaws in communication, but he has one hobby, which is writing Senryuu, poetry to convey his feelings. Together with his naughty friend named Eiji Busujima, they enjoy a pleasant school life with just a few words. Storytelling goes well and is suitable for accompanying your boring daily life. The comedy and romance elements in this anime are very much felt especially when they spend time together I'm sure you will be laughed at by their behavior.
Art is not so extraordinary that it can be interpreted as a standard with no special impression. Character design is pretty good especially in Mi…

What you need to know about this series is:
A rom-com story,
About haiku and school love,
Plus comedy too!
In the season of shorts becoming predominantly variable in time to come, this series is the Cream of the Crop for the season's contending SOTS (Short of the Season). But before that,
What is a haiku?
In what context is it used,
And how is it used? Taking words off fellow reviewer @Krunchyman, haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, characterized by three un-rhymed lines of 5-7-5 syllables. In Japan, they utilize sound units known as “on” or morae, in which when translating into other languages, inconsistencies can lead to a number of problems, leading translators to claim that as a whole, varied words in the sentence of certain syllables in English equate to the duration of 17 Japanese…

Spring is usually my favorite season every year. It usually consists of heavy hitters of popular franchises as well as new adaptations that generates a great deal of hype. This year though, we have an unusual amount of short series that runs half the length. Unfortunately, most of these shorts fell flat and limited themselves with low expectations. However, there are two shows this season that managed to break that limit. One of them is this curious little thing called Senryuu Shoujo.
I love the manga. It recently reached its 100th chapter milestone and being a short length show actually helps make the story flow better. The story premise itself is simple that stars Yukishiro Nanako as the main female protagonist. An easy trait to notice about Nanako is that she doesn’t communicate verbal…
