I absolutely adored this little gem. I’ll admit, I was a bit hesitant when I saw it only had three episodes, but they managed to tell a story packed with clever, meaningful metaphors that go way beyond the usual rom-com vibes.

With its smart, lighthearted humor and beautifully sensitive storytelling, the series won me over from the very first episode. I couldn’t help but root for Aoyagi and Akafuji’s happiness. I really loved how the characters evolved, and how the story kept a playful tone while still respecting the deeper emotional themes.

But what truly elevates the series are the stellar performances from Alan Abe and Nichika Akutsu. Their chemistry is effortless and magnetic. Both actors deliver emotionally rich, expressive performances that pull you in completely. They bring real depth to their roles and have pitch-perfect comedic timing, stealing every scene they’re in. Highly recommended!

PS: Kijima and Yukari deserved a series just for them.
