One of the underrated anime out there. No regrets after watching this, with vibes resembling Toradora. The animation was smooth-sailing, the visuals were impressive, the VA were top-notched (especially Kaoru's voice aka Mamoru Miyano), the plot's emotional rollercoaster ride, and the OSTs were great. The pacing has some issues that this series should have been a 26-episode-long run. Overall, a slow and light-hearted anime.
