Yes, but not a ton. The main romantic subplot is a waning relationship between the main character and Tabe Mikako. It's not a super romance-heavy show. Still an uplifting and compelling series nonetheless, though!
I really enjoyed watching it, much more than I thought I would. Now, if only I could get my hands, or my eyes…
I saw there's a new project to get all the eps subbed in HD, thought that may be of interest to you, seems like it may be possible to get the last two eps you didn't get to see yet also but unsure of that:
