A sweet story. I really liked how the awkwardness of school romance was shown, the hesitations and the misunderstandings coming from lack of confidence. While they are often present in other romances, it felt like the direction was spot on, for example the long silences and visible fidgeting, and of course the nervous laughter, made this more realistic.

That was great, Naoko Yamada was really able to convey a lot of emotion in just 30 min, I wish it was longer. Such a cute but simple story, and her directing style really shines here. I'm gonna recommend this more people, barely anyone has seen this!!

Good episode, fairly simple and low-key, an overall nice watch.

I don't understand why this is so underrated. It made me cry and made me feel some type of way. It reminded me of when I first started talking to my boyfriend in high school but eventually, we broke up but rekindled our love. I do wish we could've had a long episode and got to see more of them after they met up.

As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"

That was amazing. I love the message about music and this was just a very cute romance in general. I’m a bit tempted to watch the live action series now lol

@cooldogmom Both of you got a chance to date but we did not get a chance to tell each other, we both wasted 2 years on each other and then I didn't see her from the high school

and here is me waiting for her with no friends

Naoko Yamada just doesn't miss when she directs a small scale, personal drama. I got more invested in these 30 minutes than in most dramas i watched throughout the year.
