I gave a nice 8 based on enjoyment I had watching it.
I dunno why so many do not recommend to watch, and that's why I decide to write a quick review.
I don't care if it's cliché or already made this story (to be honest, 99% of JAP anime use the same codes)
It's easy to watch, both MC are less stupid than MC we have in rom-com ( most of the time they made the anime impossible to watch...)
In this one the relation start based on none "sexual attraction", they insist a lot on that point, and it became a kind of trap and the story dilemma. I liked this pitch : "how switching relation type from friend to lovers when the relation start with" trust me I'm not looking for love story with you, if I was the case, I'll run away ) basic, but I bet lot will live this situation in real life (a forbidden mutual attraction with co-worker isn't very rare, for example) .
In a way, it's like they decide a strong and deep in the friend zone relation was a kind of obligation and moral contract between them. Because of this statement, they will be able to show to the other the real personality etc
If you don't understand this point, this anime will have no sense and can be very painful to watch because you'll see no reason why the relation is stuck and doesn't move to the next step.
Besides that, I enjoyed also because there's no the super annoying character in the all show.
no big drama, no evil psycho or bad character
the story flow is excellent ( only the end , it pushes a little bit too far the male MC indecision and fell like they stretch story to have 12 ep ... ).
I don't think they'll make a S2 and I wished the ep 12 was the EP11, and they made a fan service EP12 :) I'm betting this will be the OAV.
In fact, compare to other school rom-com, this one is by far the less frustrating and gave all what I was looking for when I watch anime with a title like this. (I wasn't looking for a Romeo & Juliet 2)
I bet those who hate this one, loved anime like " Clannad" ;) ( OH yes, I hated it so much :) )
