Good love story, but with little depth to it
Hayakawa and Konno's love story has its unique charm, though it felt a bit surface-level at times.
Hayakawa struggles with self-esteem, which leads him to make some challenging choices throughout his school experience. On the other hand, Konno is the quiet yet supportive classmate who consistently stands by him. I wished for a deeper development in their relationship, if I’m honest.
While they shared some meaningful moments, I found myself yearning for those heartfelt conversations where they could explore their feelings and issues more openly. When Hayakawa finally admits his feelings for Konno, I thought, "This is it!" But then, he jokingly retracts that moment, which left me a bit puzzled. It felt like a lost opportunity for real connection. The story progressed quickly after that, with their reunion, confrontations, and realisations compressed into a whirlwind of emotions.
I understand it’s only six episodes long and requires a brisk pace, but the slow burn approach in the earlier episodes felt a bit conflicted when layered over such a rapid conclusion.
Despite these critiques, I wouldn’t completely rule out a re-watch, as the series has its merits. It’s a quick and enjoyable watch that might pass the time pleasantly. Overall, while it may not have fully met my expectations, I still think it can resonate with others looking for a light and engaging story.
