No spoilers- This anime was highly recommended for its romance, but I believe did not live up to its hype. The story follows Mei Tachibana and Yamato Kurosawa as they grow closer, gaining more friends along the way. The supporting cast were well fleshed out, however suffered by having the majority of their backstories relegated to only one episode. As for the main two, I loved Yamato and how forward he was with his feelings, yet at the same time respecting (after their first kiss) Mei's boundaries. He provided a refreshing take on the usually very cookie cutter reactions I find characters have in the romance genre. On the other hand we have Mei, his romantic interest, that I believe was not suited for him, dragging the anime down overall. I enjoyed how cautious she was about trusting new people, knowing nothing but abandonment through her life. But her cautious attitude I believe would be best suited in another anime, with a different love interest present. Mei was not a bad character, but with the story elements and pacing of this anime, she just didn't fit in.
