    This Is How You Do A Romance!

    This has been and will remain one of the best romance animes on the market, Especially where BL is concerned. It's got two romances, the better one is centric luckily. The characters are dynamic, the writing is good, and the story isn't over complicated. It's a gem in the Slice Of Life genre.

    For a 12 part series, They did such a good job of fleshing out the characters and making you feel things for them. It's got plenty of twist and turns, It doesn't go too fast or too slow, It's just right.

    This is one of those good animes that you can't really say anything too bad about. It's comedic, romantic, and it does a good job of getting you to care for these characters and how their "forbidden" romance works out, and I think that's awesome!

    Superr cute and UNDERRATED

    It was a really cute, well written story, i have no complaints, if you like cute romances (with a lot of funny moments) this is a great choice.

    Moving & a heartfelt love story

    Loved this anime! It almost had me in tears, that's how moving I felt the storyline was. I'm not in to LGBT romance in anime. Felt like this opened a whole beer anime genre that I haven't explored yet. I would highly recommend this to any one who enjoy a light realistic romance story. Hope there'll be a season 2.

    Liked it

    The story is well-plotted, the charachters are interesting and well developed. As for the romance, I did like it, but I wish there weren't so many episodes on a more depressing side, with all the troubles going on. That is my own personal taste though, so don't let it bother you. The ending was great and really heartwarmng. I can only recommend.
