Slow paced series about 5 Uni Friends

I read somewhere that this was similar to 'Orange Days" which I saw last year and absolutely loved it.. I found this series quite slow (and I do like Japanese style slow shows). It's mainly about 5 friends and their relationships with each other - apart from the female friend who is in love with the FL (and all she does is present her with portraits) this isn't really a 'romance' story.

The only actor I'd seen in other Japanese series is Ai Mikami (who was brilliant in "Chastity High") I found her the best actress in this.. The two leads ML and FL I had a hard time trying to understand their relationship as they definitely didn't talk too much.. Compared with other jdramas where some characters are relatively monosyllabic this one just felt 'off'. Having finished it I definitely wouldn't watch it again.. Ok if you want something slow moving and a bit incoherent (last episode FL and ML decide to live together (despite him planning on studying in the US and she's a secondary school teacher in Tokyo)>
