If you think that koiame is an anime that only focuses on romance, you'd be in for a surprise. In fact, the romance was a trigger to lead into something else. What is that something? well, let's just say it you can relate it with real life. I won't mention it in here so you'll have to watch it to find out.
One of the good things in this story is that there are lots of interesting and funny moments, but even so you'll find meaningful words thorough the entire episode, which gave me a good watching experience.
Another aspect that might be a good thing is rather than focusing only on the main story, there are some side stories that actually became a strong background for the whole story. This might be a simple thing but in my opinion is something that anime these days lacks. However, this is actually a double edged sword since it might looked like they just add some side stories and don't really focus on the original plot, making people think that it's just a mediocre story.
Another flaw in this anime would be the character developments. Excluding the characters who are related to the side stories that I mention, other character have little to none developments even though being really near to the main characters. If I may point a big flaw, it would be the one in episode 4 and episode 8 (I won't mention any spoilers here).
Overall, the anime itself does have its own strength, however the execution of the story might have been a flaw. Nevertheless, I still believe that the hidden meaning of the story is what made me give a 9 for it.
