When I saw the first episode, I totally agreed with her, and completely connected with Shizuku. She was, in essence, who I was through my school years.
I loved the fact that she was not just another girl who fell in love at first sight, but rather was genuinely focused on her studies and tried so hard to keep her focus despite her growing crush on Haru.
Haru, on the other hand, is wonderfully eccentric, not at all yet another knight in shining armour, or a perfect prince. He has faults that are utterly cute yet realistic, but his brunt honesty really drew me in as well. It doesn't hurt that something about his look also made me squeeeeeal (those eyes! that floppy hair! that mischievous yet innocent smile!)
I highly recommend this anime to be a fun, light watch, a very good rom-com. While it didn't give me any deep life lessons, it was well worth watching for a little reminisce about my school days.
