Finished the entire thing with the adaptation and the manga, and loved the entire thing too. Taiki's resolution often moves me, and the female casts' maturity are kinda rare too. A kind of a "masterpiece"-level work of romance that does well for me as someone who loves a pair of an older girl and a youngee boy.

Though I'm never a big fan of sports, the scenes and the emotions the competitive matches brought are well-executed too. Not that it turns me into a fan of sports. But those moments do get me in the feels with it.

Good romance! Though for me, the ending is a little underwhelming, but I don't know what I'd expect, either.
