My First Girlfriend Is a Gal

His single unattached friends force him into boldly confessing his love to Yukana Yame, a beautiful "gal" at the school.

[28][29] The series was directed and character designed by Hiroyuki Furukawa, who also did the erotic comedy My Wife is the Student Council President.

James Beckett found that the fanservice to be as expected and that it embodied "all of the most irritating sex comedy stereotypes that stopped being funny back when the American Pie sequels fizzled out over a decade ago."

Paul Jensen found the premise of two characters from different social circles to have potential, but the first episode to be obnoxious and dumb, outside of some moments where Yukana reacts to Junichi's confession.

Rebecca Silverman regarded the episode as mostly fetishism and unless that was toned down and "starts to develop Yukana as a real person, it could be a somewhat smarty raunchy comedy," but did not plan to watch any more to find out.
