How Clumsy You Are, Miss Ueno. is now streaming on both Crunchyroll and HIDIVE, featuring both English dub and subtitle options. The 12-episode series follows Ueno, a middle school science club president whose genius-level inventions are exclusively designed for the most mundane, desperate attempts to win the affection of her crush.
While Ueno can synthesize dark matter or manipulate physics with ease, she is utterly paralyzed by the complexities of romance. The show thrives on its surreal, rapid-fire comedy, utilizing Ueno’s absurd gadgets to highlight the gap between her scientific prowess and her social ineptitude. It is a sharp, often bizarre take on the 'tsundere' archetype that prioritizes inventive slapstick over standard rom-com tropes.
As a finished series, it offers a quick, self-contained watch for those looking for a lighthearted seinen comedy. The contrast between Ueno's high-concept inventions and her low-stakes romantic goals keeps the pacing tight, making it a distinct entry in the school-club genre.
