As someone who love the manga and is also considering reading the light novel, I will be honest, this adaptation is terrible, and even if I never had read the manga I would still think it would be bad.
It had a lot of potential, but it ended up that they removed a lot from the story and made the quality poor. The character design in the anime version, animation and composition are not making it better, and it feels like they tried to make the anime suited more for the younger audience.

I can't recommend the anime to anyone, but I will recommend friends to read ... the manga or light novel instead.

I decided to watch this because:
1. There was a cat.
2. It looked like a nice slow paced slice of life that could heal my sadness for a bit.

Some episodes later I realized that this is more drama than I thought it would be. The characters are overcoming their struggles and sadness, and that theme will be present in every episode.

The only thing I disliked about this series was Mutsumi (Muu-chan) and Jirou’s interactions with the repeating topic, and that she kept interfering with his work that just made it harder for him.

I think the goal of the story is to make you put more effort ... in your life, face reality, do what you actually want here and now, and appreciate what you have.

I'm a sensitive person so it hit me hard. It’s a short, simple anime that is not unique, but I’m glad I watched it. I think I needed it.

The background music, OP/ED, animation and composition were good.

I would recommend this series to people who see themselves as sentimental.

I'm going to go straight to the important part. The male mc is the toxic obsessive type of guy.
Female mc is a bit of an airhead and is very slow at noticing how he behaves and how he treats others.

Even though she's not trying to change the male mc, and that he's not improving much, the story encourages the "I can fix him" kind of situation and then his backstory shows up to make us understand and accept his behavior. As long as it works out between them then I guess it’s all good? It may work in fiction, but in reality this is an ... uncomfortable situation.

All other characters are quite likable, it would have been nice to see more of other couples and childhood friends, because it felt like it focused too much on the main characters.

What made me keep watching was thanks to Keigo's fun personality. I just hoped to see more of him, but sadly he didn't have that much screen time.

Animation, composition and background music were well done, nothing that made me react negatively at.
The Opening song was honestly not in my taste so I kept skipping it.

I wouldn’t recommend the series to a friend, and there are already many series similar to this one.
But it's an ok series to watch on the side while multitasking with something else.
