First time giving a review here. SPOILER
Story: Well, I liked the idea of the show. Helping each other to win their respective crushes' heart but end up liking each other. Made me cry in some parts especially the part where Ryujii said those things to his mom and knowing the backstory of her. Damn that's quite sad. Imagine being pregnant at 15 and then raising your son alone. Quite a tragic backstory if you ask me. Bad ending tho, I don't really understand why leave after deciding that you should be together? Like what? That was really anti-climatic. Confession? Done. Promised that they would be together? Done. Time to left then. I get it, it was to repair Taiga relationship with her family but it just doesn't make sense to dip like that lmao. The only reason I give it a 7 because it ended normally, no cliffhanger bs.
Art: Nothing really considering the year it was produced
Sound: Nothing special
Character: Boy oh boy, Taiga was really a effing bitch innit? Like wtf how can Ryujii stay in a relationship with someone like that. Yes it was an anime but fking hell mate, how was that sweet whatsoever. Selfish, short-tempered, violent, ungrateful bitch lmao and the only thing developed was her love towards Ryujii and some minor parts like her decision to fix her family relationship etc. Hell even Ami had better character development than her. Minorin is just obnoxiously optimistic and I don't understand her friendship with Taiga. They claimed they are bff but can't even sort out their feelings toward Ryujii. Kitamura character after the president confession was like just a placeholder for something to happen. Block the door, here. Pretend that he saved Taiga, here.
Overall: I think the show is overrated tbh. People claimed that it was very good and I decided to give it a go and it;s okay I guess. It's not that bad but I was left disappointed with the show because of the impression from reviews I've read.
