Honestly, I loved this anime. It sure isn't the most original anime but it's wonderful in it's own way.
Story: It's your typical popular boy falls for shy girl romance blooms. However this is probably one of the most realistic romances I've seen in a while. Mei falls for Yamato but that doesn't mean everything is perfect between them. She's still painfully shy around him and sometimes says things she doesn't mean because she doesn't know how else to react in that situation. Sure there's lots of cliché jealousy but that happens in real life. There's just something so sweet about this couple you

want to keep watching more.
Art: Not much to say, I really liked the animation of it. It's quite refreshing and smooth. It has clean lines and crisp colors. There's a watercolor-ish feel to the background as well.
Music: The opening and ending songs are a bit annoying a first, but by the end of the anime I came to realize how nicely they fit in. Very sweet and slow. As far as the background music I thought it fit in nicely with the anime but nothing spectacular.
Character: Mei, well at first she seems to fall into the Mary-sue trap but once you understand her character I think she's wonderful. She's very easy to relate to and root for and all her reactions to the situations are realistic. She's painfully shy at points but slowly begins to open herself up and make friends. Along the way convincing and helping other people as well.
Yamato kind of comes off as cocky jerk. Which is true for the first couple of episodes. But you can tell he genuinely likes Mei and being in a relationship with her changes him. You can tell he's gotten all he's wanted all his life, and now he has to work to keep Mei. (Mei also has to work to keep him.)
Enjoyment: I just really like this anime. It's by no means perfect but their relationship is so real. I came to genuinely care about the characters and when they cried I cried. The show also touches about a lot of important topics. Examples: How important is beauty, trusting people, bullying, how people view you, and most importantly being yourself.
Overall: If you love romance then you'll love this show. There isn't much action but it's a sweet anime. I'd recommend giving it a shot.
