| That was pretty good, I usually dont like shoujo anime but this was a pleasant surprise. |
 |
| The story is cute, but I feel that they rushed the middle-school part, it could have been a full episode instead of half. |
| While I like the manga, I already love the anime. I don't know why, but I like Futaba and Kou so much more than in the manga O.o (I looked at the manga and I think Kou lookes more arrogant or otherwise I don't have an explanation why I like them more now. I know they look nearly the same , but still their animated version looks cuter, nice or so) Some tracks of the OST are really nice and Kaji Yuki is perfect for Kou :)! Can't wait to see the following chapters animated because I like the first chapters the most. |
| Days need to be longer. 24 hours isn't enough ... |
| Great shoujo! Another wonderful anime of this season. It sure has its distinctive visual style and wonderful atmosphere. I just wonder what changed his introvert romantic nature to more pragmatic view of the world he has today. Was it betrayal, regret? His parent's divorce? Or something else? I just don't want to believe he left the school because of her. |

| This was a pleasant surprise, considering I expected typical cheesy shoujo fare. |
| Omg i can't wait for another week, I NEED TO READ THE MANGA!@ |
 |
| I'm not particularly a fan of the Rom-Com genre, but for some reason I'm having a good feeling about this one :) |

They were supposed to meet during summer festival so she had to wait a month of holidays before coming back to school. And after few years of not seeing each other it's not so strange that she didn't ask about it on first encounter. But it will be explained later ;) I totally loved the first episode. The art is really beatiful, I'm glad that it's really similar to manga's art. Can't wait for more! I'm just wondering when they will end the anime since it's only 12 episodes. |

 |
| This is sooooo good!!!! Feels like Kimi ni Todoke. Too bad the OP song wasn't previewed. We have to wait the next episode. Although the Insert Song was beautiful... BRING ME MORE AO HARU RIDE!!! 4.3/5 |
 |
| They're still going to animate the cops and robbers scene in a later episode!! Look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjkiPyDWHME |

| I remember reading the manga once, yeah. This is pretty cute though. |
| Please understand. |
| It was a good first episode, definitely had a Kimi ni Todoke feel to it |
 |
| Well, this was as average as it can get for a Shoujo romance story. Not bad and I will certainly follow it for a few episodes, but please: Develop into something special... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| All I could think was, it was the third term and she still hadn't noticed him yet? How ridiculous, lol, and it was even brought up by the guy. And also... those 'friends' of her are so rude. They immediately doubted her as soon as it seemed like she was stealing. Real friends would know the integrity of their friend, not immediately begin to turn on them. And anyway, is it just me or are these divorce name changes more common in animanga than in real life? I can see the Kimi ni Todoke feeling that some people see also. For that reason, I'll keep watching... and maybe the fact that Kaji Yuki is wonderful. Okay, yes, definitely that. |

| The first episode was ok. I'm not really expecting much from this show. |
| I'M SO HAPPY THIS GOT MADE INTO AN ANIME. All my feelings from the manga are being brought back, and I sort of want to read it again.. Super excited for the rest of the series. |
  |
| Cut some parts from the manga, it was pretty good. |
 |
| Pretty solid first episode with really interesting animation ^_^ I'm sticking with this one. |
 |
| Screenshots preview for epiosde 2 http://aoha-anime.com/story/#p02 (^^,) |
| |
| The art and atmosphere really do remind me of Kimi ni Todoke. I like what this is setting up to, Kaji Yuki's voice just feels perfect for TanakaMabuchi. Looking forward to more, the blend of comedy, cuteness, and story has me sucked in. |
 |
| Very nice first episode :) |
| This looks like it's going to be fantastic....lots of emotions already. |
 |
| Good one, it does remind of a bit of Kimi ni Todoke with the characters and arts :D |
 |
| Fantastic first episode, the music.setting,characters,aura, everything about it was great, i have high expectations for this show. |
 |
| The skipped quite a bit of stuff from the Manga, but kept all the essentials, so it was alright. Having read quite a few Shoujo mangas, but having not watched any related genre anime, I'd have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the art work is. The way they animated it really gives off the same feel as the manga. The music, and that opening Title was all great as well. Not gonna say much about the story, since they follow the manga close enough (no tag scene, which was a shame), but considering all that's been shown via manga, I'm having a bit of doubt as to where they can end this show at for 12 episodes... The pacing for this show is a bit slow. I'm wondering if |

| that cafeteria lady made me so mad. despite how cold he is now, I think Tanaka is still genuinely looking out for her & what he said about Futaba's friendship being fake was actually pretty true. good first episode. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| Great episode!! seems like kou is really broken after his parents divorcing, which is an accurate outlook on life at that stage, cant wait for the next one :) |
| Screenshots preview for episode 2 http://www.animate.tv/news/details.php?id=1405053136 (^^,) |

| It's not bad but that guy needs to get over it cause SHE DIDN'T REALLY MEAN IT !!!! |
| I wasn't expecting a shoujo to be this sad in it's opening episode. I love the character designs! Apparently, it was made by the same designer of Hal/Haru. Futaba Yoshioka is such a cute girl. Dunno how I should feel about Kou. Somehow he pisses me off but somehow, he's sweet-- |
| An interesting first episode, I enjoyed it! |
ChromiumSX said: 1. I'm sure she did.It's not bad but that guy needs to get over it cause SHE DIDN'T REALLY MEAN IT !!!! 2. Since he's not your stereotypical boy and a genuine person, he's taken it to heart. 3. Have fun stripping off the shell of a kuudere. |
|
| Definitely slow paced and I'm doubting Touma will show up considering he's not in the ED. I didn't like Futaba's eyes, they could have better animated that..more proportionate Can't wait for the OP song. |

| Been following the manga for a long time, glad to see it turned into an anime! :3 |
| Nice first episode, had a Kimi ni Todoke feel to it. |
|
| I've been planning on reading the manga since forever ago, because lots of ppl I know love it, but never started for w/e reason. So I decided to watch the anime first. And I adored this first episode, the two main characters look so promising. I'll definitely start the read after this season is over. |
| That's awesome. This adaptation is sooo good!! I even like it more than the manga. It brings tears to the eyes QvQ |
| Oh my, I've been waiting for this forever! Well, It's the first episode so I didn't expect very much from it but I must say - it was lovely. I really adore these watercolour background, they're so cute and make a shoujo anime atmosphere. I'm looking foward to the next episodes, I hope they'll be as good as the manga. |
 |
| Really hypocritical how he gibes at her for (seemingly) making fake friends by hiding her true self, when he hides himself to the point of adopting a new name. Absolutely loved the whole thing, though! This has potential to be a runner-up to Kimi Ni Todoke for me. |
KelvetsJul 15, 2014 8:38 PM
| I didn't expect it to be, but this is truly amazing! Loved it, loved it, loved it!! So mysterious the relationship between the two of them and so much potential for a great romance :$ |
 |
| Decent episode but that whole thing about her stealing the food got more serious than it should have. This show already reminds me of Kimi ni Todoke. |
 |
| Nice, an adorable shoujo romance without a male harem. Those two shoujo from the spring season were really shitty. It have really a strong Kimi ni Todoke vibe, either by the style or the context. Well, the characters are drastically different, but you know. It also have those adorable ''almond eyes'' :P It was oddly sad. The way Tanaka Mabuchi act so cold with her, the way he say that they can't go back. Also, that old baba... And those fucking ''friends''... Fuck them. |
