TLDR I think it did a lot of things really well that most school romance don't.
Pros:
It's very wholesome, it melts your heart and makes you sad because your degenerate bum won't ever be able to have a wholesome romance like the two MC's do. Basically each MC seems incredibly human and realistic, they have problems and flaws. They work well together and my favorite part is that they confide their problems to each other. The second major pro this story has is the pacing of the romance, most romance anime fall into two categories: they date each other off the bat which can make the connection feel underdeveloped or they wait all season and then the MC's finally say one positive thing to the other in some sort of half confession (not gonna explain why I don't like this). This anime found a nice sweet spot of steady progression. I also think the writing was really good which helped it not be boring even though we are in one of the MC's house basically the whole time and they talk so much on his couch THE COUCH SHOULD BE LISTED AS A MAIN CHARACTER FOR ALL THE 3RD WHEELING IT DID. Finally, the music was pretty good I really like the intro and the OST was nice.
Cons:
not really a con but it's not really a comedy anime which it is tagged as such. Another con people might have is the fact that this show is basically a VN. I said this earlier but there is not much variety to the animation or scenery. I think this really kills it's re-watchability. Another con is that I don't think you can watch this show for anything besides the romance, that's all there is and it's really good but the plot isn't particularly wild, the drama isn't crazy there's not many other themes like how fruits basket has drama, fantasy, and some comedy in addition to romance. A final problem people might have is that because the romance is wholesome, it's pretty vanilla, no crazy tsundere's for you otakus.
All in all I gave it a 8/10 because I feel that what this anime does try to do it does it really well, and it let me become emotionally fulfilled through two fake characters’ love story (which is pretty nice when u still single).
