Genuinely, how do people like this???? I'm normally a big fan of a good slow burn, but this is not it. Not even getting into the characters for now, the animation is terrible. Literally half of the animation is just still frames? Just panning images of the characters. The character designs themselves are also terrible. Pretty much everyone has disturbing, gigantic eyes, and almost all of them are the exact same unsettling yellow color. The hair styles are also very inconsistent- in one of the later episodes, the main character's hair changes styles and length throught every time we pan back to her. Also, the music is bland and disinteresting- did they just make 5 generic piano songs for the whole series and call it a day? Moving onto the characters, I do not know why people seem to like them so much. All of the characters are painfully stupid and oblivous, especially the main character, and the love interest comes off more as creepy in many scenes rather than romantic. I genuinely can't fathom how people like this so much, there are far better romance animes out there- save your time and watch something actually good.

(12+) I would have rated this an "8" if the series had just stopped before the last two or three episodes. Up until then, it was good, with likeable characters, great drama and a slow burn romance. My God, though! The last few episodes they tried to go full on "Komi Can't Communicate" style and did it poorly! I was honestly just shocked, like did they change writers/directors for the last two episodes or what? And what was it with the CONSTANT cut scenes to a plane flying? I could probably look it up, by why should I have to? It made no sense and really detracted from the series. Not recommended, but not a waste of time either.

I felt like my heart was about to burst with every romantic moment between Kai and Uka! The show was sweet and heartwarming. It's refreshing to see characters who not only get along well but also have role models supporting others. This is the cutest anime ever! I truly hope they release another season-I was so disappointed when it ended. I recommend it to anyone who loves sappy anime love stories, as I'm not a fan of live-action romance shows and movies. The animation style was beautifully crafted, with vibrant colors and expressive character designs that perfectly captured the emotions of each scene. The soundtrack added an extra layer of charm, enhancing the tender moments with gentle melodies that lingered in your mind long after each episode ended.

The story's pacing was just right, allowing viewers to savor each heartfelt interaction without feeling rushed. The supporting characters added depth and humor, making the show a delightful ensemble of personalities that felt like old friends by the time the credits rolled.

With its combination of humor, sincerity, and charm, this anime is a must-watch for anyone looking to escape into a world where love triumphs over all obstacles. Here's hoping the creators hear our pleas and bring Kai and Uka back for more adventures and heart-fluttering moments! I just finished it and I just might watch it again!

I hopelessly fell in love with this anime. Wonder why it has low rating since this one is such a heart warming story. In my opinion it should get 8.

Although uka is the heroine she doesn't act like one always gives priority for others while overcoming her own challengers which is beautiful and what i expect from a heroine. And kai is like a price not an ordinary always saving the heroine one, but gives courage to the heroine to stand on her own feet. I really felt that.

Really glad that the created a anime from the original manga. Otherwise i would miss this story.

Since it got 13 eps and now over i'm looking forward to a second season where their love heads from here.

I don't get how people like this when everything about it is inconsistent including the protagonist hair length. The plot is awful and they absolutely forced the main romance. The eyes were very disturbing and Kai's eyes were more yellow than his hair. This is easily the worst anime I've watched to completion. The ending was awful and just embarrassing. The protagonist had more chemistry with Serina than with she ever did with Kai. If you're considering watching this, don't. Watching this anime is a form of psychological torture. Don't watch it. Anyone who is giving it a good review has been brainwashed.
