NOTE: If there’s source material I am unfamiliar with it and cannot be bothered to check.When I read the synopsis, I was expecting something with a little more mystery or dynamic. What I got was my third most loathed thing in anime, inexplicable poor decision making. So I’m into the idea of a guy and a girl falling in love and she vanishes on him as swiftly as she came into his life, and him following her to Tokyo. But…
Long story short my issue with this series is it doesn't explore the psychology of the characters. Why are they making these decisions that sane people wouldn't? Not once is a satisfactory answer given for their behavior. “Well the power of love conquers all.” Actually it's depicted here as selfish and​ mean. I could forgive that if they explained why.
[spoiler]
Haruto and Yuzuki love each other and there's an obstacle. But once the obstacle is gone they don't get together. And then, 1 - 2 years later the second they see each other again their feelings are rekindled. So, which is it Haruto? Drop everything and chase the girl you love or understand the reasons you two can't be together? The same goes for Yuzuki just in reverse. When they can be together, they're not. And they only pursue each other when they shouldn't. And they do this with no regard for any other person's feelings when they’re involved. It's just tedious to watch.
[/spoiler]
The art, music and voice acting are par for the genre and era. Honestly I can recommend it for those who love melodrama and tales of unrequited love. But I would recommend any other romance anime I've seen over this one.
