    How do people like this???

    Genuinely, how do people like this???? I'm normally a big fan of a good slow burn, but this is not it. Not even getting into the characters for now, the animation is terrible. Literally half of the animation is just still frames? Just panning images of the characters. The character designs themselves are also terrible. Pretty much everyone has disturbing, gigantic eyes, and almost all of them are the exact same unsettling yellow color. The hair styles are also very inconsistent- in one of the later episodes, the main character's hair changes styles and length throught every time we pan back to her. Also, the music is bland and disinteresting- did they just make 5 generic piano songs for the whole series and call it a day? Moving onto the characters, I do not know why people seem to like them so much. All of the characters are painfully stupid and oblivous, especially the main character, and the love interest comes off more as creepy in many scenes rather than romantic. I genuinely can't fathom how people like this so much, there are far better romance animes out there- save your time and watch something actually good.

    Giving review this bad

    In this 2025 this is one of the most and one of the good relaxing Romance anime that has seen and I don't know who's video and whose giving rating like 5 or 4 I think those people are like not actually anime water .or the people start watching anime just now. Anime watcher are fever like us , I think they are just the Naruto and one piece watcher who just start watching anime and giving review like this bad now the enemy is not that bad and its like very good anime but you have to watch the Anime at your list you are not watching the Anime and giving review it's not like a good thing now I am watching everyday so I know how anima can be or like if I don't know I see whole anime at least one at least one or two episode to but they are not even watching now the actual anime water is not rating any of the Anime that much that much so anyone who wants to watch this anime yes you can watch it's a good anime.

    Huh??? How are people rating it so damn low??!!

    Honey Lemon Soda is one of the best anime I have seen and I just can't understand how can people even rate it below 6.

    Right from ep1, the art style and characters are so good. Uka's development as the story progresses is very admirable and Miura is a very interesting character and her caretaker as well. The other characters like Kanno Serina and Ayumi are wonderful as well. Not those typical generic characters but instead they have depth and are very relatable.

    Some moments got me teary-eyed as well.. was very emotional to see someone who got bullied for 3 years to rise up and take a stand for herself. Both the OP song "Magic Hour" and the ED "Wonderful World" are beautiful masterpieces by &Team.

    Trust me give this anime a shot and you would not regret it. Absolutely do not trust the overall rating coz idk why the heck are people judging this anime adaptation without clearly watching it. Yes it does start a little slow but trust me its an underrated masterpiece that you will surely enjoy!

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

    I felt like my heart was about to burst with every romantic moment between Kai and Uka! The show was sweet and heartwarming. It's refreshing to see characters who not only get along well but also have role models supporting others. This is the cutest anime ever! I truly hope they release another season-I was so disappointed when it ended. I recommend it to anyone who loves sappy anime love stories, as I'm not a fan of live-action romance shows and movies. The animation style was beautifully crafted, with vibrant colors and expressive character designs that perfectly captured the emotions of each scene. The soundtrack added an extra layer of charm, enhancing the tender moments with gentle melodies that lingered in your mind long after each episode ended.

    The story's pacing was just right, allowing viewers to savor each heartfelt interaction without feeling rushed. The supporting characters added depth and humor, making the show a delightful ensemble of personalities that felt like old friends by the time the credits rolled.

    With its combination of humor, sincerity, and charm, this anime is a must-watch for anyone looking to escape into a world where love triumphs over all obstacles. Here's hoping the creators hear our pleas and bring Kai and Uka back for more adventures and heart-fluttering moments! I just finished it and I just might watch it again!

    Ishimura is my waifu for 4life

    Finishing Attacks on Titan (ke hell bro? Why everyone is depressed oy it suck) did same to one fav Shojo then ever pink tree add some soda of title n well getting the awesome high school with another dandanra a la Komi can't communicate here the review: The 12 episodes seen shy high schooler that suffered from bullying Ishimura grows doing things that was never expected is thank to boy that always has her back Kai.

    Which following the series we see em getting close facing many obstacles they confront, from getting lost into the woods, to having pressure parents (which is topic never seen in shojo) course facing ye accusers.

    Ishimura grows all that while been in high school, epi11 was very controversial on how they rope Kai been saved by her, is bundles how dark gets.

    The ending could be better just both staying couch in where house, giving bright.

    The key board of soundtrack were good given that tension of both relationships, is awesome the anime gives lot chibi moments that had some comedy moments.

    So conclude best shojo of the winter season n sad is not receiving that Ai(loving) cause with the One Piece 2part announcement.

    Shonen always gonna be king on this media.
