Endearing and brought a smile to my face, but it was also... full of nothing. The characters didn't portray or evoke any deep emotions. I often like the Japanese slice-of-life approach to storytelling but it felt especially empty in this one. And it's only four 20min episodes. The kids are written like actual highschoolers and fill their days with semi nonsensical talking tangents and not doing much.

The message that is spelled out for the viewer, mainly in a voice-over at the end, is cherish what you love in the present even if you're afraid it may go away someday.

The thing is, it feels like best friends cherishing each other and not more, despite the little kisses. I think it would have been more satisfying if left at close friendship but because the screenplay tries to *say* they love each other as more, *without showing* that in their interactions, there's obviously something missing.

The characters themselves say that nothing at all has changed since they both confirmed their feelings for each other. I think it's because they have a best-friend-soulmate connection instead of a romantic one; that's how it comes across anyway. And that is also a very special connection and worth cherishing. I wish the screenplay had focused on that message instead of forcing it to be a "romance", which negatively impacted my satisfaction and rating.

General Spoilers below.

There's barely any plot but the couple of threads there are, are left hanging at the end (does Sakura actually play in the school show? how does he sort out his next steps with or without music? who is the creepy kid knocking into people and does it keep happening?).
