A surprising delight!

I hesitated a bit to watch this show given the mediocre reviews it's received here; little did I know what a fun little series I was missing out on!
The story lands very much on the light and comedic side so if you're looking for something particularly deep or dramatic, you won't find it here.

What the show does have to offer, however, is a unique and zany sense of humour (which might not be everyone's cup of tea but which I greatly enjoyed), highly likeable characters, and a surprisingly touching and realistic romance with some very decent depictions of casual physical intimacy.
The relationships and friendships depicted are all incredibly sweet and wholesome, just a group of people trying their very best to care for and love one another - often while sharing delicious food.
The pacing and romantic buildup work perfectly in my opinion and the dynamic between the main pair is of the rare but truly wonderful sunshine x sunshine type.

More importantly though, what this story is mainly about is two people who, from the very beginning, like each other so much and so sincerely that watching their interactions feels painfully lovely and disarming in a way that I didn't think was possible in such a high-energy comedy setting. They also communicate very clearly and openly with one another which lends the story some more depth and realism and ensures that none of the conflicts feel contrived or unnecessary.
There are meddling exes, female love rivals but these tropes are very quickly subverted and the characters are complex, three-dimensional human beings and all contribute to the story in important ways rather than just serving as sentient roadblocks for our main couple to overcome.

Is the show perfect? Of course not; the humour doesn't always land perfectly, the comedy music feels slightly over-used in parts (although both of those are pretty much down to personal preference) and there is a completely unnecessary "comedic" slap which may put viewers off.
Fans of the source material might also be disappointed as this series is, at best, a very loose interpretation of the manga.
But to me the good far outweighs the bad and with its lovely cinematography, utterly charming cast of characters, and surprising and refreshing queer-norm approach to representation I can whole-heartedly recommend giving it a shot.
