Koko wa Ima kara Rinri desu. Reading it is quite the unique experience. The manga intelligently makes you go through various concepts of ETHICS by approaching different problems students have.

Story:
If I had to use one adjective to fit this story with, it would be respectful. The main character, the pace, the topics discussed in the story, everything is treated with respect. The story and characters engage in reflections on various ETHICAL topics without being judged from the start, and the story tries to find its solutions respecting individuals and beliefs.
As a negative point, tts structure might be not the best for certain topics. The ... manga handles some very hard and complex problems, and sometimes seems to give them a solution too quickly. But it doesn't go in the way of what the manga wants you to do, and that is engaging a dialogue within yourself, make the reader think about ETHICS.

Art:
The manga sticks to its unique style. The art manages to show emotions in a really nice way, exagerating sometimes but without being excessively heavy.

Characters:
Probably one of the best point about this work. There are quite a few characters introduced in the story, none of them feel like forced characters put to support a story element. They are given enough background to enter the discussion about their problems, and I'm sure quite a few of us got attached to some of them quite quickly.


I fully recommend this manga, if you enjoy thinking.
I think that's a good way to conclude. Thinking is nice.

Just Because! is one of those small 12 episodes series that are meant to entertain, narrate a building love story with its pack of issues. Not much to analyse. Take the sides in the love triangle (or not :) ), and let the story take you to on the journey.

And Just Because! did it great.

It's a classic romance anime, if you have seen some of the genre, it's not going to be a innovative story. But that should'nt bother you. Just Because! still succeeded to give me some suspense, until the end of the serie. Even though the ending was very predictable, suspense was ... brought well in a progressive way.

the characters are well written. They are attaching, all in their own way.

I loved the art of the anime. I'm not specially exigeant in that domain, but I found it great. the colors are nice, character are well drawn. The environnement is beautiful.

Opening and ending were great too. I never skipped them.

On the negative side, some elements of the story are rushed. I get that it's only 12 episodes, but still.

the ost (except the opening and ending) is not really amazing. Definitely not an ost that I would listen to afterwards to get the old vibes back and have an emotional breakdown (shoutout to Clannad).

The ending had a bad focus in my opinion. I wasn't really satisfied with it.

Despite the negative, the show managed to make me emotional, to get me into the story, take sides, and make me wait with impatience the next episode. And that's all I need.

Man, Just Because! was a treat.

Ahh. I simply do not recommend this to anyone.
As a fan of romance / love stories anime, I am always searching for a next serie that would be interesting.
After watching white album 1/2 (both very nice in my opinion), I saw school days in the recommendations.
Watching this was a mistake. Trying to rub this anime from your memory is hard.

The worst about school days is that the 5 first episodes which are actually quiet interesting really get you in the story. The characters are not very clever but why not. You want to know the end.

The second half, you simply realise that ... it simply doesn't fits the human reasoning anymore. Buy you think it can't get worse. Ohhh heck. It gets 10 times worse.

And at the end you regret to have seen the entire thing.

If you are searching for a cute light hearted anime with some laughs, just never watch this. Never.
