It's been a while since I have watched a TV show that had such endearing characters. They feel so human and real.

I loved the way the story was told. No drama felt unnecessary or shoe horned in for the sake of 'making a moment' and sub-plots are actioned in a way that doesn't feel long winded or cut short for the sake of time management. I think this show shines the most with how enjoyable the overall viewing experience is, there are very few if any moments where you feel you are just going from point A to B for the sake of it.

Excellently cast as well. The actors involved seemed to really understand the part they were playing and where that character fit into the story. I especially enjoyed the performances of Otani Ryohei, and Takahashi Maryjun.

(A lot of folk label this as a 'light & funny' show, whilst this is for the most part true Episode 8 has a DV component to the story and people interested in watching this show should know that in advance.)

I cannot recommend this series enough.
