I thought this anime was a masterpiece. I don't read manga at all but I loved the anime so much that I watched it 3 times and I hunted down the manga and read it and I'm thinking of reading again. It's not too unrealistic like I hate to admit but most romance anime is, in the sense of the main love interest isn't so 'innocent' and 'love is easy'. The main couple went through trial and tribulation both giving up and then fighting for one another again. The main love interest has a backstory and is effected realistically by it. The people around them have backstories as well but not as well delved into as the main characters but still enough for you t appreciate them. The art is pretty good and I listen to the soundtrack as I do homework.
I am a romance anime connoisseur. I've been watching it for years and have seen almost every romance anime there is. I think that this one is my favorite out of all the ones I've watched over the years. I can admit there is better out there but this fits my taste almost perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone looking to quench their hearts thirst for love.
