This is (if you ask me) at the same time a very odd bird and a hidden gem that many may have missed. I found a trailer for the series by chance but got a very good feeling and decided to watch it. However, it must be said right from the start: The series has what you could call a fetish for saliva (and the exchange of saliva). If you have a problem with THAT, it can probably be a threshold that makes it difficult to appreciate the series. 😇😅
I for one didn't have much of a problem with it anyway. I quickly realized that
...
my gut feeling about this anime was just as right as usual. 😁 The drawing style itself is right up my alley (it doesn't really follow the mainstream art style for that era) and then we have the extremely "original" story - odd in a good way, I would say.
One of the reasons for my praise is that the characters feel really believable and that the characters actually DISCUSS relationship problems and personal boundaries - what's okay and not okay in a relationship. Problems are not "solved" as easily as they can sometimes be in romantic anime. And in some odd way, the series feels really sensual even though the "hottest" thing that happens is that a couple who aren't even the main characters kiss each other. And last but not least: there is a lot of humor. And a little element pf fantasy (which revolves around this with the saliva).
In conclusion, it was probably - in all its oddness - one of the finest animes about youth love I've seen to date. It had a little bit of everything - AND (apart from the fantasy element about the saliva) everything still felt genuine and very believable. I am SO glad I found this gem of a series. I think more people should give it a chance. ❤️🙂
P.S. A special shutout to Ayako Yoshitani who does the voice of the FL in this anime. It's out of the ordinary in a very positive way and makes the character extra interesting.❤️
