Is the Anime Really Finished?#
When deciding whether to dive into Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shōmei Shite Mita (also known as Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It), the biggest question is often whether the story reaches a definitive conclusion.
The anime adaptation consists of the original series and a sequel season titled Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It. r=1-sinθ. However, because the anime is based on a manga that began serialization in 2016, viewers who only watch the anime may find themselves wanting more. To get the full experience and see where the scientific pursuit of love leads, you may need to continue with the source material.

Themes, Appeal, and Audience#
This series is a unique blend of comedy and romance. The plot centers on Ayame Himuro and Shinya Yukimura, two scientists who find themselves in love.

This anime is best suited for:
- Fans of “slow-burn” romances with a comedic twist.
- Viewers who enjoy intellectual humor and a quirky premise.
- Anyone who appreciates seeing the intersection of logic and emotion.
You can watch the anime on Prime Video to see if this scientific approach to romance is for you.
