I'm not a big fan of teenage dramas. Even if I enjoy them, I always finish the movie/tv show and feel depressed. They tend to have an effect in me that reminds me of my depressive teenage years or makes me think "what if I've done this instead of that?", or I relate too much with the characters and feel the same as they do. This is not the case with this anime. This is probably the ONLY teenage drama that made me smile instead of leaving me depressed and knocked down on the ground (or my bed). Instead, this anime made me smile almost throughout the whole season, and I was always eager to watch the next episode.

Like many other watchers, I heard or watched videos or screenshots of this anime, and I had the wrong idea of what was it about. Fanservice, harem, bizarre comedy, etch. But then I heard and read a lot of people saying they were surprised by the plot and that they even cried with this. So I was intrigued. And what pleasant surprise it gave me when I started watching it.

I did not expect at all the sci-fi/supernatural elements in this anime. In fact, that was the main reason I was so intrigued and interested to keep watching. This elements give an interesting turn to some common teenage afflictions, like feeling ignored, invisible, the unhealthy custom of expecting things to have a different result no matter how many times we do the same thing, the bullying, the effect it has on your self-esteem, etc. These issues feel accurate and relatable enough, even though they are surrounded by a supernatural, fictional environment.

The character design and animation are very nice. Each character compelling and charming design aspects that were according to each one's personality, even though some were a bit anime-generic and clichés designs. But still, every character looked beautiful (especially the waifus). And yes, the promotional posters with Mai dressed as a Bunny Girl are complete clickbait.

I don't have much to say about the soundtrack, I barely paid attention to the music. I can say it never felt off, and it fit the pace and tone of the overall series. The opening song is one of my favorite OPs of all time. Period.

I really liked how the managed each character in this anime. I was afraid it was going to be a harem anime, but fortunately, it was not the case (even though there are some teasing and tension between more than one female character with the main guy. But as I said above, each girl had a realistic affliction portrayed in a very appealing and interesting way.

I wish I could say more about this anime, but that's all I have. I didn't love it as many people did, but I had a great time watching it. It gave me blurred eyes at times, but I didn't cry.
