This anime did a very good job portraying the growth of a couple, how they met, how they got together, and how they became more familiar with each other. Although both characters are shy, they can be brave facing obstacles in front of their path, which is admirable. It's also not like your average first love anime where the two protagonists just keep hinting at each other and NEVER make a move. It's less idealized, more realistic, and more enjoyable to watch.

A very cute, sweet, and innocent romance anime about two middle school students who fall in love and develop their character along the way. The show is overall very enjoyable to watch and has many heartwarming and adorable scenes throughout. It's interesting to see the two main characters discovering romance for the first time, and eventually maturing and learning from their experiences at middle school. That being said, there are only some very minor issues setting the anime back, such as some cringey and awkward moments, but overall the positives far outweigh the negatives. If you're a fan of romance, go watch this right now, you won't be disappointed.

PROS: + Outrageously adorable and cute romance + Viewers can relate to the realism of the characters and situations + Great musical score + Satisfying ending with proper closure

CONS: - Some bad CGI animations - Some cringey and awkward scenes between the two MCs, but this eventually goes away halfway through the show - The anime is a bit too serious in my opinion and could use more humor/comic relief

You have to wait till the last episode to let the magic happen so be patience while watching this series 💓

I think this to be the best anime. The story is about two teenagers falling in love for the first time. It proceeds through the problems they face in keeping their relation . It's really heartwarming and realistic. Simplicity makes this anime more genuine. What I love most in this is the ending. It's really rare to see such kind of ending in anime . I would highly recommend this one.

Let's get one thing clear, this series is blasphemously underrated and under-watched. It is one of the hidden gems that came out this year. It's heartwarming, soothing, and relatable. The reason behind it is because of its aesthetic simplicity and its mesmerizing realism, it feels relatable and close to heart due to the shyness and awkwardness. These things which are rarely seen in romance series across any medium. The character designs are simple yet interesting, plot is simple yet captivating, story is simple yet heartwarming, animation is simple yet eye-catching, and the soundtrack compliments the emotional and romantic feel of the anime. I have no real criticism for this series as it lays out everything perfectly. There is no extravagant scenery or any breathtaking visuals, but the thing that makes this anime special is faithfulness to real life. I don't think I've been this satisfied from a 12 episode anime ever.
