Nice finale that was a wrap for the entire series, so heart warming,,, and Mei and Yamato were so cute standing on the bridge kissing in front of the evening sun, such a perfect couple. i like the Character Development in every episode and it created such a heart warming atmosphere, i hope there'd be a second season but i don't think it's possible since the finale was perfect *moe*, will be missed of course one of my favorite rommance animes, now onto the OVA.

Overall score, i give a big fat 9/10

He had a cold and everyone acted as if he was dying.

The first few episodes were good and episode 10 was good. That's it. Loved the art, loved the pacing, loved Megumi, Aiko, and Kai, but It was dramatic, even for a school romance, and in an ill-fitting way.

I thought I would like this series a lot more. I even went ahead after the second episode and gave it an 8! Overall, I disliked this series more than I liked it. The rating is going way the hell down.

I was expecting something different.
Anyways, overall - it was quite nice especially the last scene. I can't believe it they made Yamato run around when he had a fever or whatever. Hoping for a second season though ~

great anime, its refreshing to watch a romance where the best friend of the main character isnt reduced to being portrayed as a subhuman being only there for the other characters to make fun of. Though I think episode 12 should have been the ending and 13 should have gone before it. Show had a lot of memorable characters that I wish we could have found out more about if they had more episodes to work with

caaaute ending
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

So many obstacles kept Yamato from finding Mei. One how does Nagi not see the cell phone close to dead battery and second when Yamato answers the call from his friend who tells Yamato of his girlfriend he doesn't bother to charge the phone afterward. Aside from that trying to find Mei I noticed he passed a lot of couples with the females having short hair just like Mei's.


Nice ending scenes as well. It showed every couple being with each other and Nagi being cared for by her friend. I guess Yamato gave her the cold as well.


What can I say about the show. It was portrayed as realistic as possible, the characters were all nicely done, each of them very realistic.
10/10 for the entire show in my book.

Horrible ending from someone that's read the manga. Episode twelve should have been the real end. This would've done better as an OVA. Or not at all.

The anime was a train wreck, but still somewhat decent.


Ep 12 was the true ending to the anime. This ep was pointless thru and thru. The highlight of this ep were Mei's friends. & Nagi was portrayed as a selfish brat this ep even tho she showed that she really like Mei's company in the prev eps...so inconsistent...but she and that boy were really cute together.

I tot the last ep was finally when she said "I love you" properly but GUESS NOT.

About half way through I started pulling out my fingernails with a pair of pliers. By the time they found each other I was about to start on my toe nails.


I was pulling my hair as I grew more frustrated.

Mei's and Yamato's relationship seems to be more supported by their friends than themselves. LIKE SERIOUSLY. It would've been better if other charas got their focus ep like Aiko and Kai for eg. Srsly the supporting charas are more entertaining than the main two.

Definitely a trainwreck of an anime. I really disliked this ep, it's such a downfall after the last few ep's buildup.

Overall 5/10. Maybe lower cos I really dislike the male lead.

To me I feel the anime should have ended on episode 12. I really got abit pissed off at Mei's stupid indecisiveness. Making someone who has fever run around looking for her because she just COULDN'T ring the bell! I don't get it.

;_; this was truly a great and heart-warming anime. Loved the cute heroine and man WAS SHE CUTE. I need to know her VA. Great development of her character and i just love the main couple so much. Really hoped for Kai and Megumi to become a couple. Man, they looked AMAZING with yukatas btw, holy shit i couldn't stop pausing at Aiko, she is the best girl. Loved this ending and it was a bit frustrating when they missed by each other but hilarious at the same time. The ending was great, i hope the manga picks up from there.

Kai is the best guy too. So gangster.

9/10 Want some kind of sequel to this.

Warmth summer night ~ ..
Mind reading mastery !!
Catching a cold for the first time !!
Taking care of the sick !!
Imouto's jealously over mei is absurd .. well not really annoying though .
Mei cute worries again haha ~ !!
Kai so helpful as always .
Nice to have the play boy takes things seriously .
Yamato's consciousness can't handle the pressure lol !! he's freaking out like mad !!
two worried hearts at the same destination !! or four ? .. yep I guess so .
The post got in the way haha !!
Apology accepted .
Pretty good episode !!! funny in some ways .

Sukitte ii nayo . Clearly , a great romance/drama/slice of life anime that surely touches your cold hearts .. making you feel the warm passion that each scenarios are employing within . Plot was good . It follows as a typical shoujo productions (different social standings where like popular boy meets unpopular girl) but contrasting in each romantic moments . It deeply emphasizes that "Love is for everyone" , "Love and happiness can be achieve through true reconciled hearts with honest feelings" or "Love can make anyone beautiful and blooming" . Characters are nice and likeable . stereotypes like any other characters but have some preferable and admirable personality that blends flawlessly in their own pace . I like to point out how these characters have sympathizing backgrounds that truly reflects reality's cruelty and obstruction . making out mixed emotions in which one feels hate then changes into pity at some character's depiction .
It was really enjoyable in both comedy and drama.
I hope for more !! but change "settings" please . no typicality for shoujo . (same social status I support)
One more thing , Songs were pleasant and melodic . the singers have such lovable voices !!

Gosh, Mei. It only took you thirteen episodes, haha.

This episode didn't have the feeling of a finale. Episode 12 would've been a better ending.
It seemed more like a one off comical side story with all that whacky stuff going on.

Anyways, this show works as a decent romance anime.
I really wanted to like it more, but there's something missing…
I guess because this one was predictable and really straightforward.
Some character development was there, but it wasn't that memorable.

The animation has been solid throughout with an okay soundtrack. 7

Truth be said, the previous episode felt more like the last one than this. This one was more like some kind of OVA or something, being all comedy and a lot of misunderstandings and accidents. But it was fine.

Anyway, the series were overall enjoyable, the main couple was kinda bland and unoriginal, but the secondary characters were pretty interesting. For example Aiko, which I grew to like and respect a lot, despite her being introduced as some kind of bitch. Even Megumi wasn't that bad in the end, although I kinda wished to see her with Kai (OVA shows a bit of them though!). Visuals were really nice, no OST really caught my attention though. 6/10

Overall ok series

The thing that I didn't like was how yamato fell in love with mei. It just seemed so unrealistic for him to fall for that kind of girl without even getting to know her first. And then he forces himself onto her by kissing her without her permission.

And then he put up with her even when mei was so reserved.

Blah.

I have literally never ended a series feeling so sour. I really liked it. I really, reslly enjoyed the show up until this episode - this episode wa annoying, and showed that despite the fact that mei has learned to trust a little bit, she hasnt really grown. Im so disappointed in the finale of this anime but the rest of it was pretty decent I just wish it had ended on 12. she never even told him she loved him and the gate pole scene almsot had me yelling at my screen for her to get overrrrrr it.

So, that's it, the end. Felt the last episode was a better ending.
Eventually, she said "I love you". Still, it felt a bit underwhelming, as much as i loved seeing the scene with all the characters going out with their loved ones, i could have lived without this episode.
Overall, liked the series: a sweet start, one of the best kiss scenes in episode 2, but then on it couldn't hit my emotions anymore. Nice romance, but still pretty average

Okay, is their relationship really that bad that they keep doubting each other all the time. There's no trust between them. Or maybe it was the fever talking.

And what the **** was that ending? So bad that it made me mad!

i really liked it. i didn't think i was, but i liked it a lot more than the other shoujo anime i've seen. i feel like they should have ended it with the summer festival though with mei saying "suki" then, because the last episode was so unecessary tbh.

but i enjoyed it. 8/10.

They have a lot of kisses and hugs in this show. They're adorable. ♥

But they should stop being so paranoid/overthinker all the time, lolololol.

Yamato x Mei. Relationship goals. I wonder if that would happen in reality, wherein a hot and popular guy falls in love with a plain girl and they live happily after. Really sounds like any other typical shoujo manga/anime that has unrealistic plot. But who knows? "Love is blind." ♥

Overall, it's an entertaining show. It's really similar to "Kimi ni Todoke". I can relate to this anime because I also used to be bullied, though I'm not socially awkward compared to Mei. The art is beautiful, as well as the music.

episode 12 woulda been a better ending. 13 was lame and just pissed me off.
"Lost, confused..
Losing sight of myself, I grow desperate and struggled
Each time I heard the sound of the bell, I struggled
I wondered, "where is the one who matters most to me?"
Really, I knew the answer the whole time.
I finally came to the realization after she showed me the way home.
I was able to decide that this is where I would live.
This is one of my precious bell's memories."

The most stupidest episode in this whole series! It's like two million steps back! What the hell? Nagi says and she just takes it and runs and omg Yamato hates me blah blah!

And then Yamato lets his half pint run of a sister take his phone but finds his balls when it rings and snatches it from her? And then he gets his underwear in a bind when he thinks Mei is cheating on him.

What the hell kind of bullshit was this episode?

The writers wanted to make one last final attempt to have someone come between them since Megu is over her self and it has to be the sister and we thought she got her jealously over and done with in episode four but no she is still a bratty ass brat!

Oh my god why are all these winter animes having suck ass endings? Good god!

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

If they had just stuck with the relationship between Mei and Yamato, all while dealing with her bullying problems it would have been a much better show.

I also found it funny that despite all the drama they went through, even in the end they still fail to understand each other at all.

5/10....it's just too average of a romance show for me to give it anything higher


if they stuck with mei and yamoto i think i would have killed myself. i'm so glad kei stepped in, however late he was.

oh HO! i see! so every anime that's COMPLETE CRAP gets a scot-free ticket because "it's an anime".

then i guess tonari is some kind of dark matter since it doesn't follow the rules at all.


---------------
OH MY FREAKING GOSH.

what the heck?!? this is EXACTLY why they don't match. at first it was mei, but then YAMOTO was acting like an idiot.

but then kai, good old kai, supports mei without beating around the bush.

but then she ruins it by STILL not going to his house.

YOU BLOODY IDIOT. DIDN'T KEI JUST TELL YOU IT'S NOT LIKE YAMOTO TO SAY THAT?!?

then, to make more needless chaos, the slut boy, WHO HAS ONLY APPEARED IN TWO WHOLE EPISODES decides to call out of bloody NOWHERE and tell yamoto needless bull he couldn't care less about.

this episode would have been funny if it wasn't so freakin' stupid.

anyway....
2/10. i would have loved to give it a 1 like 3-4 eps ago, but i am giving it one more point for the wonderful light kei brought to the show, although it was so late. it may seem like just a point, but it's one filled with admiration and gratitude. the music was nice as well, which takes up around 10% of the second point.

otherwise, horribly boring, cleche show. it's still not as bad as haru ride, which literally caused me physical pain looking at, but it's still unbearable. all the characters are boring (save for kei), the animation is bad, with not even a hint of sakuga. to say nothing of the plot. all in all, it's the utter and complete opposite of tonari, in every sense possible.

i had some hope for this romance since haru ride had broken me so bady. and since it was in the same magazine as tonari, i thought it would have had better taste and reject cleches. couldn't have been more wrong.

so yeah, i'm done. you have no idea how much haru ride drained me so much, and the sukitte had to make it even worse by being barely better. after i read and watched tonari, i thought i could find another romance like it. i had hope for the genre. looks like it's a one in a million story. now i hate the genre even more than i did before. i no longer care for the romance genre, and it's all haru ride and sukitte's fault.

Bloody Hell, they managed to became even more stupid than they were the whole series. Even comedic attempts didn't save the situation. And yes, I expected that Mei will say it out, loud and clear, but no. Finally, this overpredictable & megaboring series is over. Time to check how bad they made that 0VA.
There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value.

Seeing Yamato fever-talk about Mei being in another relationship was hilarious ;) Still felt more like a special and not like the official ending.

I give it a 5/10 (and that's nice and those points go mainly to Aiko and Kai) . Though I like shojo & romance Sukitte ii na yo just didn't work for me. Too many side characters and side stories, I found myself more often mad at Yamato's behaviour than being flattered or thinking that those two were a nice couple. I had to drag myself through the epsodes and am glad that it's finally over.

And I wish it would have had more of Kai >_<

Hm. It's not bad. I'd give it a 6.5 overall, rounding down to 6/10. Story was typical and there weren't many things that made it stand out. I still enjoyed it nonetheless and thankful that there wasn't an overload of drama in it.

The ending could've been better. I wish Mei told Yamato what he was dying to hear, which was "Yamato, I love you." (call him by his first name, pls). They included it in the end, but I bet you that was just what she wanted to say in her head again. Lame. Also, this last ep ticked me off a bit since they've been dating for awhile now and there's STILL misunderstandings between them bc they don't know how the other thinks. Kai knows both of them well =___=' Yeah, love is a learning process, but Kai has been away for a long time but he picks up fast. idk. I had high hopes for this series since I think the characters are so cute but it was aight.

The beginning is so awful to the point I want to drop it early then it's started to get a little better but after making Megumi as an antagonist this series really went downhill. Kai almost saved this show for me though.

Not really good written story as a shoujo series.

Why are they drinking cocktails at home..?

The quintessential shoujo wish fulfillment; chemistry between the MCs barely exist, a bit repetitive and often makes sense 'cos it does'- the characters' intelligence levels suddenly drop whenever the writer want them to. But but mostly presented well, with certain redeeming qualities; suburban atmosphere and sound use, part of the realistic portrayal of school life and relationships('part of'), general lovable-ness throughout. 4-5/10

Man, this last episode was really silly (in a good way), trying to add that shoujo drama but everything ended up being so silly and adorable! And this show was just that, cute, silly, funny, heart warming, even sad at times. But it was not frustrating. And we can owe that to how everyone's friends called each other out on their bs, that when there would typically be a relationship-effecting miscommunication, the friends step in and encourage better communication. And I really love this show for that!
