Mixed Feelings
This show can be summarized as follows: Ex-lovers obsessed with one another who later became siblings and are still obsessed and in love with one another in the present. The show is either a hit or a miss for most people, as there is no middle ground. Watch the first three episodes and decide whether it is worth continuing to watch. Even from just watching the trailer, you'd already know what to expect from the show, including the art and sound quality.

Yume and Irido's chemistry isn't all that great to begin with, and from a logical standpoint, their relationship appears forced with little to no chemistry. To be honest, I'd like to speak for the majority when I say that the Mizuto and Isana pairing would have easily outperformed the ship the show is aiming for. With the exception of Akatsuki and Kogure, the side casts don't really add much to the story, and we can see that the show is actively shipping the pair, with the obvious childhood friend route.

As one would expect from a typical romcom, the show lacks substance, with only basic back and forth feelings relayed from the character archetypes they portray, in which case both the MCs portray the edgy smart-ass character type that reminded me of Hachiman and Yukino in Oregairu. I wouldn't mind if the show focused more on the side casts and developing their characters rather than actively shipping the MCs. That would have made the show more interesting and entertaining to watch. We did, however, learn more about Yume and Mizuto, their past, and how their relationship came to be, though to be honest, the reason for their breakup seems childish and unseemly. Though one could understand that they're teenagers, but given that Mizuto and Yume are both well-educated and embody the high intelligence vibe, that kind of seems out of character for them.

If you're a typical romcom enjoyer, this show is not much different from others, and I would recommend it to you. However, if you can't stand formulaic shows and relationships that appear unhealthy and obsessive and follow the same pattern, you should skip this show. Everything just felt kind of lackluster in general, which resulted in a low emotional investment in the show, but the show did become interesting from time to time.
