Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story centers on lighthearted romance, with character traits and charm placed ahead of modern identity checklists. No evidence of forced representation or overt focus on demographic boxes. The narrative maintains traditional rom-com beats without prioritizing ideology over natural character development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This show leans into classic values: shyness, modesty, playful romance, and respect for tradition. There’s no effort to undermine gender roles, if anything, it highlights old-school courtship. Japanese and Russian cultural aspects are celebrated rather than critiqued or whitewashed for modern sensitivities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little sign of ideological monoculture. Characters hold personality-driven views, and no one preaches about social justice or relentlessly mocks traditional mindsets. Dissent from mainstream Western dogmas isn’t villainized because, frankly, the story doesn’t go there at all.
