    Gross yet wholesome

    This anime is very unique. The drool bond that Urabe and Tsubaki have is pretty gross but if u look past that you'll have a wholesome time. This anime has done so many things right and it's sad we won't get a second season. I recommend this anime to everyone who loves the romance genre!

    This would be good if it wasn't so frustrating lol

    From the start it was weird, but a good weird, and you suspect the story and mystery unfolds as the episodes progress but you never get that satisfaction but the whole time you hope you would as it was so close to opening up, but doesn't, then it ends. Urabe must have some major traumatic issues as she won't let her boyfriend, whom she is basically obsessed with and loves with sooo much devotion, touch her even with a hug. There are certain points where they open up, have a break through in their relationship, and emotionally at it's climax it should flow the way Tsubaki naturally and instinctually wants to embrace Urabe and then it's ruined as she won't let him even get close and there is no resolution to this behavior and just becomes frustrating and annoying towards the last few episodes, with being only 13 episodes and all. I understand that initially the she should be closed off and what not, but they should have eventually had Urabe open up and let her guard down with Tsubaki, with her being so obsessed with him, but it doesn't happen and they just seem to be strangers that walk home and swap spit once a day, it's frustrating and weird that the writers decided to keep Tsubaki at arms length from Urabe and not elaborate on the many questions that revolve around Urabe when it could have been so much more emotional and captivating throughout the series. Huge miss.

    This would have been easily rated higher if not for the weird tactile eccentricities of Urabe.

    Sexy but at the same time Cute and Innocent and Full of Love

    This is one of the top 10 animated series that I have every seen.

    Hope you have read the official story line.

    It might seem a bit gross - drool. The whole series is about drool, drool and drool. Yet, its never gross. Instead they make it so damn cute and adorable. Its amazing how they are able to pull this off. :-).......

    And I think they were able to do it because this is one of the sweetest love stories that I have seen (more than Before Midnight)! And by sweet I don't mean clichéd, lovey dooey, etc. On the contrary its full of surprises!

    This series is very short. Just 13 episodes. A total of 4 hrs 20 mins. I saw it in a single stretch and felt very disappointed when it got over. It was that quick.

    Yes, definitely recommended.

    Thank you for reading. Cheers. :-).

    Underrated

    This show is definitely not normal. But I would love to see the show continued, sadly the creator is not a very social person and does not have a work email or anything that I know about. I love how the creator used a mix of mystery and weirdness. I have watched the show 2 time before I believe I really understood what the message was. Side note I tried this with my girl and let's just say it is just the show thing lol (seriously don't try). One thing about the show that makes me mad is the ending! The ending had sooo much potential but they did not finish it... I'm sure the creator moved on but I would love for him to make more, I can't stress it enough how much I want more of it. It is funny I thought I was just some cringe thing on the first episode but the mysterious intent made me want to watch the next episode I think I deserves to be on Crunchyroll again! Make more if u see this creator!

    10/10

    Best romance i've seen that took a very special place in my heart. I will never forget how awesome it was to watch this series and then after 3 years reading the manga.

    VA for Urabe is absolutely fantastic, and it's a pity that she hasn't voiced any other anime.

    Never seen such type of showing relationship and i really don't know why but the saliva thing was not gross or frustrating for me.

    Again best romance.
