One episode... It took just one episode for me to fall in love with this show! ♥ I knew it was going to be something special even before I watched it. The best show this season by far!

This has the same spark that Sakamichi no Apollon had and I loved that anime. The ghost husband hanging around during conversations can make for some funny scenes.

Absolutely the best show of the season so far, will be following up until the very end. Thank god summer isn't turning out too horrific.

MC surprised me with how great his snarky nature was, and I loved seeing actual romantic progression and a confession within the first episode. Interactions between the dead husband and MC were a standout, I'm very glad only the MC can see him and the wife can't - kind of forces them to interact. There's a lot of potential in there for pulling at the heart strings, great drama/comedy, character development, gahhh I'm just very impressed and happy that I liked it so much.

"One of these days, I'm gonna steal your wife"... Haha. Nice one.

And the dead husband being jealous is so cute [at 1st I thought, he was just the brother of the girl, hehe]! Looking forward to the next episode. This anime is unexpectedly soooo interesting and unique. Love it!

It's like a good version of Amnesia.
Ugh, I don't even like talking about that show.

Great replacement for Sakamichi. I'm glad we have been able to get a good josei continuously going for awhile. Usagi Drop to Chihayafuru to Sakamichi and now this.

noitaminA does it again!

-Rokka is instantly captivating. I found myself attached to her very quickly, and I was excited to see her story unfold throughout the episode.
-All I remembered from the description was "that flower shop show". The supernatural element took me completely by surprise. I thought Atsushi was going to be her brother or something. While it's not my primary concern, the relationship between Hazuki and Atsushi is definitely interesting to watch.
-I feel like they got a lot out of the way for a first episode. We know a good deal about Rokka's past, and a confession is already on the table. I honestly hope they establish a romantic relationship sooner rather than later, as I think that triangle is really gonna be the most interesting part of the show.

Not that there's much to compete with yet, but this is easily my personal anime of the summer season so far! Been a long time since I've seen a good josei series. Can't wait for more!

It was ok. Nothing really jumps out at you and makes you think, "this is going to be great." though.

I predict I will give it at least a 6/10.

This seems to be a good romance anime.

Hazuki. Seems a bit pathetic, but I like him so far.

Looking forward to more. 5/5

While the OP appeals to me, it's the ED that I just adore. The moving frame and the singer's voice are just lovely. What stood out to me was the superb voice acting which is more important in this particular genre than anything else in order to convey the characters' mood. Also, that's how I like my romances: no meandering around and with actual focus on development.

I've been waiting for this since I first picked up the scanlation several months ago. It's a story that I fell in love with after just reading the first chapter. The first episode did not disappoint. It's wonderful seeing the characters in motion and their designs are absolutely flawless. Hazuki is HOT!

I'm glad I was looking forward to this since it is even better than I thought it could be. With all that nice feeling of feelings as they swirl around and people who don't just freak out at the big shifts to occur. There's thought put into it even with how soon it felt like the confession came.

Ridiculous how easily this takes the pole position amongst the summer series. I've seen the episode three times already, and could probably go for more. As you can probably tell, I'm loving this, it just does all the things right.

Well-rounded characters, the details (the nervous Hazuki being greeted by the usual Rokka, and how he exhales in relief etc.), nice animation, realistic interactions and reactions and of course, a couple of charming leads. And oh, they're actual adults for a change!

I couldn't have asked for more.

This show has the potential of being the best show of the season. A confession after the first episode?! IMPOSSIBRU! This already beats Kaoru in Sakamichi no Apollon.

I already can't wait how the weird love triangle of man-women-dead husband is going to develop.

Looks like I'm not the only one who loved the ED song by Aimer. She's freaking awesome.

Good show, good show! Jolly good show!
I definitely thought that I wouldn't enjoy it but it's such a pleasant surprise. I thinks it's cause I thought that she would be aware of her husbands spirit and they'd still be in love, and then it would just be angsty melodrama for Hazuki-kun. But clearly that's not how it is. It's still a little angsty, but I like it XD
I like Hazuki-kun's personality, too.

LOL, it's hilarious whenever her husband's spirit just floats around in the store.

Okay, I love this. For me, a slice-of-life/romance/josei lover this is like, I don't know, manna from heaven. Yuuichi Nakamura + Jun Fukuyama. My body wasn't ready enough. Plus that main female lead. She's fabulous. No wonder Hazuki fell for her. I would, too.

I watched the trailer and thought this anime would be super boring. I gave it a try thinking I'd drop it sooner or later, but TOTALLY WRONG! The 1st episode was so good.

I can't wait for me. :) I hope they do end up as a couple in the end.

Love the ED too

I give this show 10 ghosts out of 10.

Very spooky...it reminds me of the ghost that smokes in my room and talks to me when I get shitfaced.

Heh. I usually end up hating it when formerly quiet fandoms gain a large new following, because the majority are just hopping on the bandwagon and speak of nothing but how a certain pairing is their OTP for the show. GIFs of Hazuki staring at the semi-naked dead husband are already floating around. ;;;

But no, it's largely a good thing, especially for a deserving work, which this seems to be.

Well, I'm talking about when there was NO fandom at all. First because it was raw manga only, then slow scans eventually. That's actually worse. For the newbies, I can filter out all the people who think Rokka is ugly with the shit taste filter.
