I finally finished the series and I can wholeheartedly recommend it, especially if you are queer/child of divorce. It somehow managed to avoid all the pitfalls of stories which deal whit this subject matter and ends up making something unique that truly represents what it’s like being in high school and dealing with your life. If you are having a existential crisis this is the manga for you.

The details

Art
Fits the story, more extravagant art would be distracting and simpler art would be to dehumanising. That said there are some extra art pages which are wallpaper worthy. I would even hang them on ... my wall tbh.

Characters
Way to relatable, like boy did you just put my thoughts and feelings in manga form and publish it. There isn’t really anything unrealistic about them, I feel like I can meet them in real life. They are handled well every step of the way and the usual traps and pitfalls are avoided. Even some stuff which wasn’t expected made my hearth warm and fuzzy.

Problems?
None, you can tell the person who wrote this probably lived thru some of this stuff. Even the homophobia from other people towards the main character is handled in a real way that is used and in a way that I recommend. The emotions of these characters were felt every step of the way and I have nothing but respect at how everything was written.

Loved the manga but this is better. I am loving every second, especially episodes 3&8. It’s funny, it’s extremely cute, it’s relatable. This isn’t some weird bate for women to project themselves onto. This is something I would say is more akin to horimiya.

The characters are cute and interact great with each other. A great contrast is between the leads, one is shy and the other is a lot more extraverted. So we get to see sasaki be a lot more forward in his feelings in a extremely realistic way. And we get to see cute little miyano cook his brain thinking about his ... actions and there meaning. Which again again is extremely realistic for a high school gay romance.

The art is just a perfect mach for this stile of show, colourful, light, fluffy and cute beyond belief. I legit sometimes pause the show just to scream “cute”. I know I am saying cute a lot but this is giving k-on a run for it’s money.

You should definitely watch this.

PS:This is my updated review after I finished the show

This is super cute and cotton candy sweet. I recommend this for a quick fix of sugar you sometimes need.

Obviously it’s a high school romance so if you are annoyed by some of the cliche staples of the genre you will have to just bear it for some chapters like I did. In my opinion it was worth it. Honestly they are the only reason this isn’t a 10 so if you are really into them then this will be perfect for you.

Otherwise the the romance is believable, and makes sense. They act like how I expect people in that situation to act. It’s ... not overly anything it’s just what I believe this would realistically look like with these great characters.

Tldr; Watch it if you can take a few not so good episodes without dropping a show

Semi spoilers ahead

As far as story goes it’s noting revolutionary. Simple and to the point. Most of us have broken dreams and this is kinda how it goes. Dragged out and chipping away at you. When the moment comes you know it’s done you are num more then anything and this show shows that. Our characters aren’t exaggerated and that is probably why it’s kinda boring at times. As for the super natural element, well it’s kinda in the background and more unexplored then it probably should be. Even ... though it does become a MacGuffin at some points.

As far as art. This is really good for a TV series. Honestly it’s really pretty and even when they use 3D it’s pretty good.

If this show ended on episode 12 I would have given it a 6 and thought of it as another idea that was handled in a semi inept way, but we have another core. If that turns out to be a good or bad thing is yet to be seen but I have hope if for no other reason then I think that this is the part the show was really made for.

it's exatly what you want it to be nothing more nothing less, now could some stuff be improved yes of course, but it's not realy what the story demands and I respect that, now i would recomed watching this uncencored, late at night, with a box of tisues.
now for the detailes, animation is respectable and so is the art, but it's nothing great, music is not something you are here for and why am writing this when you will just watch it because it has opai. honestly the doujins for this are gonna be less creative than the searies itself. hope you have a ... good wank.

The art is perfect as well as the editing. the characters are cute and the story is super enjoyable. I give it a 10 cause it's exactly what it should be and is animated way to perfectly for this not to have people who really cared about it behind it.
now for the details, the story is predictable at times but that just comes with this kind of story. the art is so much on the cute side that i the characters are hard to take as dark(some character at times are supposed to) but on the other hand it stands out more and it kinda ... has the same affect in the short term. the music is nothing special tho good. if it makes a few missteps here and there this could easily drop to a 9 but for now a 10 it is.
