Just Watch Episode 3
Episode 3 is a recap of 1&2 with additional info at the end, so it's basically a one episode short. This looked like a student film that wanted to be so "deep" that only the creator understood it.This is just my interpretation. So dude is a pron uploader like xxxgasm (don't know if he's still around since I'm not into pron) and starts to have feelings for his co-star who already has a boyfriend. The End. I guess that we won't be getting the couple channel.
I based my rating of the story on potential. I think it could be an interesting premise and I enjoyed the actors. It's too bad, because it could be a unique series, showing the shade of grays of human behavior.

Sweet and Fluffy
This series is a light and fluffy comedy with a little bit of supernatural elements thrown in. It is not the most intellectual series I've watched, but it was nice to see a series that had more than a few normal looking people. Putter, playing Yu has redefined what handsomeness is. The character of Yu has unique features, but as the series progressed, I could see why Ai could fall in love with him.I could have done without the ex-girlfriend but she in the source material, so I had to live with the unnecessary conflict this brought to the couple. A weakness of this story is, I feel that there were times I could not read their thoughts as well as I would have liked. I think that if I had access to a translated copy of the novel, it would have helped me understand the inner thoughts of the characters better.
I recommend this for people who like fluffy, not super deep or philosophical. The characters are like people I would be friends with in real life, so they were relatable to me.

Not Faithful to the Source Material
The Japanese title sounded familiar, so I looked it up and realized that I read the manga. This manga is from 2013, so I had to go back and read it. They should have stuck more closely to the source material. I think the actors were good,.There was too much filler to stretch the series and I wish they would have stuck closer to the manga.
****Spoilers****
1. The exes. No Mizuki, and the ex-wife is just mentioned in passing in the manga. A weakness of the series is, more lovey-dovey time was spent between Mizuki and Sakae, than Soga and Sakae in the series, did not happen in the manga.
2. In the manga, Soga reveals he is divorced right away.
3. In the manga, Soga is from Shikoku, not Tokyo, so no return to Tokyo.
4. In the manga no break-up, no LDR.
5. In manga, no filler such as the birthday party plans, the meddling co-workers.
6. Part 1 of the manga is Sakae x Soga, but Part 2 is about Kaname and and a salaryman, who is a regular and Tamae, is from Tokyo and hates vegetables.
