I thought they chose a good stopping point for this season. I hope it can be said to be the first season, since there is much more story to be told. Heck, the manga isn't even done yet! I was a bit surprised that it didn't get to the summer festival arc, but after seeing it, I think this was the right place to end it, given the lack of good stopping points from here on out.

I enjoyed this show a lot *_* The pastels were very pretty and contributed to the cute atmosphere of the show. I particularly liked how they did a little montage towards the end of all their special moments. Really hope there will be a second season, if not, i think ill just pick up the manga :)

I thought this was actually a rather well done conclusion since it seems like they chose a very nice place to stop and there's plenty of set up left for another season if they feel like making one. These last two episodes were particularly noteworthy, one of the highlights of the series, the art was at a high standard and that insert song was also pleasant (albeit kinda overused). All in all, I welcome a second season because this one well and truly lived up to its name.

I was afraid since the manga is shit, but the anime turned out to be quite good. I guess even the producers know that, hence why they adapted only so much.

This is actually so accurate LOL Yeah, anime really made some "stuff" better imo. I would still prefer it to adapt every thing because it feels to open ended..

Well, its ended. Nice ending, what a true friendships, i can just say that this series was amazing, i had bored in the middle of the series though.
But finally they are opened their turf cards, its became interesting and intersting.
I rated this as 5/10 back then. But when their (the producers) had opened their turf cards, I truly impressed with this series.

I'm glad that Futaba and Yuuri's friendship didn't fell apart since they are loved Kou so much. but i'm glad those situations doesn't mess up their friendship.

And finally Shuuko got noticed by Kou's brother aka Tanaka Youichi... And even Kominato didn't mind that Shuuko dating with Tanaka-sensei, but i bet Kominato's mind if Murao dating with him lol, just a little though.
Their friendship keep in solids even though there are a conflicted love each others. this is what's called 'love won't break us down' .. Its truly awesome series.

Imo, the overall is...
8.5/10

Good job Production I.G and else!

It was alright I guess, it didn't have most the annoyances that animes like these usually have at least.

Still it was just another unoriginal cliché anime series again, there was nothing in this that didn't already happen in a dozen other romance animes just like it beforehand.

Basically it's the umpteenth show of it's kind that just plays it safe because readers/viewers don't like anything unique over in Japan like that.

It was ok, some nice scenes here and there. Some parts were terribly boring though.

It didn't really stand out in any way from a lot of other romance's though.

I really enjoyed this anime and I definitely want a second season! I liked all the characters and the ending was good, even though we know there is much more story after that. We all just wanna see the romance progress and Touma being a love rival so Kou will get jealous.

Kou finally opening the door to Futaba was such a sweet scene, and then when they started acting in class the same way they were when they were in the past... so kawaii <3

And what about Tanaka-sensei hinting a future romance with Shuuko to Kominato? I wasn't expecting that. I like both guys so I don't really care who she ends up with. But I'm gonna say that Tanaka-sensei was a like a little kid crying when Kou had dinner with them, it was adorable lol.

I'm thinking about reading the manga cause I really want more!!

Decent shoujo, sometimes way too shoujo for me >.<

Characters were great, except for Yuuri. Ended up hating her. Also I wish the story would've focused more on Shouko as well. Too bad I heard the story goes to crap later on..

Awwwn, now that he's liberated from his guilt, he's such a shy little boy :)

That was a really sweet shoujo. I'm such a sucker for cheesy romance with some comedy, but it wasn't that much cheesy. It had a really great execution on the devellopement between Kou and Futaba without rushing it.

The supper scene was touching. It was really simple, the dad didn't broke in tears, they didn't made a big monologue or whatever. Just a broken family finaly having a supper together.

I really hope we get a second season. I WANT A GODDAMN KISS!

Hmm I expected something more dramatic in the final episode but that was fine, too. Lately I've been such a sucker for romance... It's so hard to find action anime which are on the same level in their area as quite a few romance are in their area >.>

Anyway. I'm getting off-topic. I really wouldn't mind another season of this :) Enjoyed most episodes. Just the "love-triangle-thing" was a bit lame because I don't think there is any way to get around Kou and Futaba ending up together(making the triangle kinda senseless) and who'd want that anyway

For me the best part of the whole series was the last conversation between Shuuto - Tanaka-sensei - Kominato. Would have been nice to see more development in this trio.

All in all a decent series, too slow and too little character development, but it provided a very good portrait of a young person losing his parent and struggling with the situation.

Loved the show!!! 9/10 of course!

I just think there could be maybe a little more, but since it is not over the story because of the manga continuation, i think it will have a season 2! An i hope it fills my crave for Futaba X Kou!!! Yeah yeah Yuuri is a nice girl but you won't beat Yoshioka =D!

I really enjoyed the last episode though... the way he tries to get back the time he lost due to his emotional troubles during dinner with his family was awesome, the way Youichi cries of happiness almost got me crying too T.T ! I thought it was a very good show and hypeee for season 2!

Okey this was one of my favorite animes until the last episode. I really hope they release a season 2 because im not really a manga reader. I'd like to see those to in a relationship. Because I clearly ship them so bad omgg. I'd love to se more of that orange haired guy as well. So im hoping for a season 2 otherwise I guess I have to read the manga. But honestly I really wanted a futaba - kou kiss :c

Can't really say I disagree with you but the last episode doesn't usually spoil an anime for me unless is very rushed wich was not the case. It was a very emotional episode anyway but like you, I'm hoping for a sequel.

Sadly ,that's so very true.

Honestly its nothing as bad as Usagi Drop manga after it continued what happened in the anime for instance,but it's still pretty damn close to that level of awfulness.

Last time hearing the OP (and the ED), sorta sad... esp. because of the OP as it is among my favs this season.

Such a nice resolution. Really liked the Shuuko/ Shuu-chan scene.

Beautiful anime of a beautiful manga. 9/10. Want a 2nd season! Need more KouTaba, friendship scenes, Tanaka and Touma, of course.

If it gets a second season it will strike anyway... I'm just sad that we didn't get to see the real romance of both parties Futaba x Kou in this season.

But true perhaps if they jumped the gun it could have ruined it

I wasn't sure about Shuuko's character at first. She seemed plain, and boring. However, as the episodes passed she became an interesting character. Her quiet personality fits with the group nicely. Kominato x Shuuko would make a nice couple, Kominato is really into her.


I liked the quality time between Tanaka/Kou and their father.

LOL at "the guy from the library", Touma. He probably has nightmares each time he goes to sleep now xD

9/10
A show worthy of a second season. Great show and the characters were all likable.

And so many feels throughout the episodes i feel bad for Kou tho, and i was expecting for a kiss ! ! ! too bad for me tho :')

Pacing was too, too slow. I didn't see much character development. Kou's development as an individual was worth noticing, Futabas' was only noticeable in the early episodes. And their relationship hasn't even gone that much. Can't help but feel unsatisfied. And what about Yuuri? Will her love become unrequited? And I don't see much development of the whole group (the five of them), it made the series incomplete for me, I mean it defeats the purpose of Kominato and Murao, and I feel bad thay they are kinda left out.

Though I have to say, Tanaka-sensei really owned Kominato in the end, that was kinda an epic moment for me. Everything else, except the character developments were pretty good.

The character design of Yoshioka is simply the best I've seen of a highschool girl in a long time. Absolutely love her design. The detailed faces are refreshing to see compared to the generic pizza slices we usually get.

I don't understand the dislike for this show. It's a lot better than some other romances that I've seen. This one had actual depth in my opinion. The whole thing with Kou and his past combined with the thing between himself and Yoshioka was very well done put together.

Opening and ending were brilliant. Sound in general was of good quality.

9/10.

Their dad looks cool. That Sensei and Kominato rivalry. Murao looks happy now :)
I will wait for the OVAs, and I will definitely read the Manga someday, as usual. Thank you ^^

This was a great finale, I think it couldn't have ended in a better way actually. Everything that had to be resolved in this first cour was pretty much dealt with and in a pretty much the best way at that. Kominato especially made the episode for me.


1. Characters. +1. I think the main cast was pretty much good, with Kominato being my favorite, followed by Futaba(not shipping them though, lol). Kou and Shuuko were nice characters as well. Yuuichi was a fun characters at time as well.
2. Atmosphere. +1. Good atmosphere for a highschool romance right there.
3. OST. +1. A nice soundtrack, with the Ending being especially good.
4. Animation. +1. I haven't read the manga, but I personally thing the anime did a pretty good job on it. The pastel pictures from the past were especially good.
5. Background story. Kou's problem with his mother was rather expected for a Shoujo MC with his style, and it didn't impress me much. Other than that, we barely got any background on whoever.
6. Storyline. +1. The story dealt prety well, gradually resolving the main problems that were set in the beginning of the story.
7. Ending. +1. As much of a perfect ending a 12-episode adaptaton could get.
8. Drama. It was not as impressing as I expected it to be(Kou's mentality turning out to be unstable being the main problem of the story), though Yoshioka's conflict in the beginnig got my attention.
9. Overall affect. +1. I liked it and I'd miss its episodes when I feel like watching them. It had a great atmosphere and I was rarely getting bored, as well as there was just a good bit of romance present, without ruling the storyline.
Overall score: 7/10. A pretty enjoyable story, I'd watch a 2nd season.

I really loved the manga, but for some reason it just didn't transfer well to an anime for me. Oh well, it was still a cute and easy watch. A second season with a kiss would be awesome.
