First off, I'd like to preface this by saying that this is written purely with respect to season 1. I do not plan to read season 2, as it just hasn't appealed to me and it's removed the one thing that kept me invested (which I will address below).
I really enjoyed this series' setup: two shameless perverts with oddly specific fetishes falling for each other and eventually forming a truly strong bond beyond satisfying superficial preferences.
The series' characters are, without a doubt, its best parts. Each character, no matter how big a role they play, is interesting, unique, and likable. The two main characters

are absolute idiots who are difficult to believe at a time, but I can't say that this bothered me most of the time. I also can't say that I hated any character, which is hard to pull off.
This is a SERIOUSLY heartwarming story. The couple interactions are a pure joy, and I couldn't help but smile through the entirety of the series. I love everything about the relationship between Kotoka and Tatsu, and it's wonderful to watch their relationship slowly develop over the course of season 1. Other characters' interactions with them are great for the most part as well, and often add to the central relationship in interesting ways.
The story itself is volatile, sometimes being comedic gold and sometimes dragging on. The series' drama is easily its weakest point, with one arc near the ending in particular overstaying its welcome. I think that it disappointed somewhat in the later chapters (40+) with a mediocre arc that dragged on for way too long, and an ending to the "first season" that really should have been an ending to the series as a whole.
For clarification on what I mean by "Seasons": The series' "first season" ended in chapter 72, after which it wiped the slate clean by introducing entirely new characters in an entirely new setting. I didn't like this at all, and quite frankly, I wish the author had focused on the "season 1" material a little bit more before ending the series as a whole. The reason for this is because, as I said before, the characters are the best part of the series. While I love new characters, I was disappointed to see the series continue without finishing a few plot threads and further developing the existing ones. I can't speak to season 2's quality as very little of it is currently available, but I don't particularly care for it either. For me, this series ended in Season 1.
