I watched this when I was 17 and it was very interesting to me because you won't find a series as unique as this. It talks about different problems that teenagers face but aren't really addressed in the today's world.
All I could say is:
-If you like a funny series
-A romantic one
-One that will take you out of your shell
then this series should be on your watch list.
I wish there were more series like these. I watched the anime too but prefer the real-life version.
**I love the characters too. I can relate to most of them.
Hope we share the same opinion and I encourage everyone to watch it.
