Don't worry, it only gets more contrived once Enamoto's sister makes her appearance.
In a way, its nice knowing that the anime shows that the series is not about the two leads actually growing up as characters, and is instead more about how much contrived bullshit the author can write to keep...
So yeah, the anime more or less shows that this series has a relatively okay premise that gets really contrived once Enamoto's sister appears in the story.

Seems Inaba Shiro started drawing stuff related to Kando-chan again.
