    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.

    I want a season 2!

    First of all, i need to say that the german dub isn't the greatest - so watch it in Japanese if you want the best experience.

    But after that, I really really enjoyed the anime. At first I was really skeptical how this turns out, but I still watched every episode. And after I binge watched all in one sitting, I can say, this romance anime is so heartwarming. Everytime there was even a little bit of affection I was giggling like a high-school girl again. The character development is great, and I'm really curious how the story is going to continue.

    So if you want to watch a easy, and heartwarming romance anime, watch honey lemon soda!

    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.

    Infuriating last few episodes!

    (12+) I would have rated this an "8" if the series had just stopped before the last two or three episodes. Up until then, it was good, with likeable characters, great drama and a slow burn romance. My God, though! The last few episodes they tried to go full on "Komi Can't Communicate" style and did it poorly! I was honestly just shocked, like did they change writers/directors for the last two episodes or what? And what was it with the CONSTANT cut scenes to a plane flying? I could probably look it up, by why should I have to? It made no sense and really detracted from the series. Not recommended, but not a waste of time either.

    Much Better than its seems

    I hopelessly fell in love with this anime. Wonder why it has low rating since this one is such a heart warming story. In my opinion it should get 8.

    Although uka is the heroine she doesn't act like one always gives priority for others while overcoming her own challengers which is beautiful and what i expect from a heroine. And kai is like a price not an ordinary always saving the heroine one, but gives courage to the heroine to stand on her own feet. I really felt that.

    Really glad that the created a anime from the original manga. Otherwise i would miss this story.

    Since it got 13 eps and now over i'm looking forward to a second season where their love heads from here.
