This an exceptionally cute little series which sadly loses the bloom from its rose quite quickly. As an anthology of shorts, all on the theme of youthful romantic troubles, every episode has sweetness and hilarity served up on short order, without the need to watch a whole shoujo series for the payoff. A good build-up can make the moment of truth even stronger, but since everyone will naturally root for young love, the briefest stories, with lively dialogue and scenarios, can be sweetly moving.
It's to be expected that segments are of uneven quality and become a little forced and predictable by the halfway mark. Although the characters are commendably distinctive, different and include real standouts, their motives are essentially similar, and as slow to be progressed as if this was a 50 ep rom-com rather than a short series. In short this isn't a great rom-com like Torodora, but well worth a watch for discerning fans of short anime.
