Honestly I'm watching this for Riku Hagiwara. Overall, the plot isnt that bad but I am not sure if ped* sub plot is needed. The story revolving the 5 teenagers are enough imo. It started with the typical girl crushing on a guy who happen to live next door and there are also have been friends since little. Unfortunately, I dont think they have the chemistry to sell that young love. Things get a darker turn and it gets messy. Ritsu though, my boy Ritsu is the star and the catalyst of a lot of things happened between them and boy, he did a great job messing with everyone. lol
