Synopsis

Reaching a period of life where they are neither a child nor an adult, 12-year-old Hanabi Ayase and Aoi Yui meet with life-changing events. Due to the mischievous demeanor of her male classmates, Ayase does not think highly of the opposite sex. However, her perspective begins to change after she is paired with the kind-hearted Takao Yuuto for a class assignment and unexpectedly shared their first kisses with each other on the school rooftop.

With her best friend discovering love, Aoi yearns to seek her own. She finds herself falling in love with the rash Kazuma Hiyama after protecting her from a rejected suitor who had talked behind her back.

12-sai.: Chicchana Mune no Tokimeki follows the four in this phase of adolescence. As they grow up alongside each other, this sweet romance depicts the innocence and excitement of first love.

Mixed Feelings
I've watched it when I was like 13.It was one of my first animes, so it was a good experience for that time. It's pretty cute, but I don't think I'd enjoy it nowadays (I'm 20 now). There's some scenes and characters that may be kinda annoying. But it's good for passing time (if you're under 15).
Even though the story is kinda cliche and pre visible, I enjoyed it at the time.
The art is okay, pretty cute I'd say, but nothing special. The characters have all the same face and the only thing that changes it's, yk, eyes/hair color and height.
The characters ...

Recommendation: Skip it unless you have the highest possible tolerance for corniness and overly-sweet sentimentality. This review covers both seasons of the full length anime, not the original short OVAs.

Positives:

+ Sweet and innocent. Red flags may go flying up when you hear it's an anime about 6th graders in love, but there is zero fanservice or sexualization of the characters here. It feels like it was written for the actual demographic it portrays (middle school-aged girls), rather than for otaku voyeurism. Rest assured, there is nothing in this series that could possibly qualify as objectionable or creepy.

+ Convincingly portrays the transition from childhood to ...
