pretty good

It's cute, fluffy and kinda goofy and the angst is really satisfying. The main characters reason for having feeling for the other person is also very heartouching.

Though at times, it felt like the background music was interupting a moment instead of enhancing it. The 1st episode feels a bit choppy but it get much better as the story progresses. The emotionally charged scenes are done really well, none of it feels insincere or excessive. I especially appreciate Togawa's actor for THAT scene.

When compared, the manga is slightly better. I felt that interaction between characters and flow of a conversation seemed a bit more natural there, in the show it feels like they just ask unusual questions out of nowhere. Also Togawa's character doesn't seem like as much of a wildcard weirdo in the manga.

All in all, I recommend watching it.
