This is one of those anime series where a fan-based Doraemon ending would fit, i.e. the whole shabang was just a dream of the protagonist (Nobita dreaming of Doraemon for escapism, and in this case that would be Amane dreaming of his ideal gal/motherly figure). The dream goes a little something like this: valedictorian/best gal next door cooks dinner for the protagonist and occasionally lets him lie on her lap, and in return he buys stuffed animals and jewelry for her as tokens of appreciation. The girl then blushes and covers her face with a cushion due to embarrassment while the boy is totally oblivious to her obvious attraction to him and thinks his crush is only one-sided on his part. The detachment from reality is further magnified when the boy suddenly becomes unrecognizable to his fellow classmates when he styles his bangs a certain way which is a total game changer, transforming a somewhat autistic teen into an attractive guy getting hit on by random female strangers. Dream repeats on an infinite loop until the protagonist wakes up.

In retrospect I'm not sure how I managed to finish all 12 episodes; perhaps I was secretly hoping this anime wouldn't turn out to be so mundane but it did, like watching paint dry - that's four hours of time I'll never get back.
