To tell you the truth, I did not expect much from these series.. but then, it seems I was wrong xD. Story (7/10)                                                                                                                   The story is the usuall love triangle that I have seen so many times. A childhood friend and a male protagonist getting along when another old friend that the male character had a crush on( usually) comes back and there goes the triangle. However, the story was, nonetheless, good. It wasn't boring, although there wasn'nt anything that stood out that much. Art (8/10)                                                                                                                      The art overall was pretty good, and the figures didn't seem out of place. The characters were drawn nicely. The art did certainly bring the rating of this series up. Sound (8/10)                                                                                                                 The sound was also very nicely fit into the scenes. It really helped set the right atmosphere to each of the scenes that it was put in. Character (6/10)                                                                                                            The characters were nothing new, as this type of genre is common, and their actions were almost always predictable. It would have been much better if there was somehting more unique about the characters... but then that may as well have affected the story as a whole. But this does in no way mean that the characters were shallow. They were well, thought out and each character has his or her own development in the story.Overall, I think these serie is really worth watching if you like romance stories and have got the time. I wouldn't say that its a Must-See, but still it is worth the time.

The anime has many strong points. One main strong point was how he was not completely indecisive throughout the entire series with an opening ending (Not giving any more details). The gift was not completely clear from the beginning; I think the anime would have been better without the magic element but overall it did come back in the end I also love how at the end even after choosing both can be happy. When they talk about their happiness, they are using shiawase 幸せ to describe their happiness instead of ureshii 嬉しい. This shows how they are obtaining a long lasting happiness and has a deeper meaning than standard ureshii happiness.  I wish there were more seasons.  Story 7/10 due to interruption of romance with magic plot device that was not needed animation 6/10 average with a nice rainbow  sound 7/10. They excellently chose the lines used to xconvry certain feelings—even if it doesn’t always translate  Characters 9/10  the Main characters are all unique either their own happiness, sadness, trials, troubles, and relatable ness. If you are a sucker for romance but don’t like open ended endings and like character development and can also deal with the magic plot device then watch this show

At the beginning of this anime, the story seems like it will follow the run of the mill harem path. It does do that for awhile, but I think that it deviated from that path as the series progressed. There are some interesting elements to this show like the gift and the eternal rainbow over the town which keep you wondering what they are, which is rare because you can almost always tell what is going to happen in a normal harem show from the first few episodes. The ending of the show has more intense drama than you might expect. Overall, this anime is pretty good. I would recommend it to any fan of the harem/romance genre. It's not the greatest thing ever but definitely worth a watch.
