Story (6):
The other reviews gave pretty much an accurate description on the story. Having made a point to mainly stick with rom-coms, I can confidentially say that this story is pretty much like the others. It does not introduce any new elements, but it does use make decent use of the clichés. Since this story is mainly about the relationship between the main characters, actual plot includes a slice-of-life standpoint, not necessarily bad, but can get repetitive if you have seen it before.
Art (7):
The art played a huge role in both the comedy aspect, as well as, bring the show a unique feel to it. Personally, the different faces that Takieo made when talking about Yamato (more so about the "I Love You" line in every episode) probably saved me from dropping, and then repeatedly stepping on the lack of word choice the show offered. The art itself was vibrant, which matched the mood of the show.
Sound (6):
The OST, regardless of the genre, is crucial when attempting to develop a mood the creators wants the viewers to feel. While the OST slightly added to the mood, it did not really help set it, nor is it a "stand-alone" piece one can listen to. The OP and ED were well suited to every episode, but not really memorable.
Characters (7):
Rom-coms rely on two things to be successful, unique characters that have a good amount of emotional depth, and the interaction between said characters. While the two main characters (Takieo and Yamato) had a very good development phase, I feel that the side characters were more there for plot progression and nothing more. There was little to no progression on the "main" side character Suna, even though he had just as much screen time than the real two main characters. The other sides were either there for filler, or lasted 3-4 episodes to introduce a new element to Takieo's and Yamato's relationship. That being said, the interaction between the characters were more or less fantastic. The comedy between them would have me laughing so hard that I would have to pause to calm down a bit.
Enjoyment (8):
The anime meshed with itself rather well, which provided a good comedy with a romance underplot. Any fans of rom-coms, I would recommend picking this up, as it provides a nice light and airy atmosphere, hard found in most anime. If this anime were a food, it would be a waffle. It looks interesting with all the toppings on it, which some tasted well together, while others didn't, but when you finished, you were full and satisfied.
Overall (7):
This anime seemed to waste time adding characters to further plot devices, rather than adding depth to the characters already there. But with the variety of characters, you got to see how interesting it was for the male lead to interact with a seemingly everyday life.
