    Feel good with suspense

    The anime is a pretty much straightforward slice of life for the first few episodes. The direction of the anime is wonderful. The suspense that is built up and the twists that keep coming make sure that you stay hooked. They could have spent more effort in the last episode and made the ending less confusing. The stupidity of the main character in understanding people's feelings towards him was annoying. Also, why can't they take effort in animating the mother as a elderly person when compared to the daughter?

    Overall, the anime left a good impression that made it worthy of discussion at the dining table. Good luck in trying to explain the logic of the story to others though.

    The remarkable anime that I ever seen

    I'm very lucky that I can watch this anime. It's story is different than any other anime story. But this ending is not suit this animme. In this anime, there is drama, love, sadness everything is in the story.

    Underrated

    It's probably one of the most underrated romcom out there. First 7 episode were pretty much normal slice of life but points started combining after episode 8. Great anime
