I don't know how I ended up watching this anime but I was very impressed. The romance in this story was very typical of real life situations.

It's artwork is above average but nothing to write home about. The characters were well drawn but all done very typical of anime characters. No fluid scenes.

The story probably is one of the best romance story put together. What made the story great was the fact that it was 9 episodes and each episode was approximately 12 minutes. This made it like a long movie and no fillers were present. Many of the feelings and situations in the series was pretty much like a real life relationship.

The character design is not the best I have seen because there are typicality in much of the setup such as the manager being a woman taking care of the voice actress who happens to be shy. Many of the characteristics were unbelievable but overall the characters were well done such that if you overlook the typical setup for them then you will see a well constructed character.

Finally, Entertainment. I had to add this part to mention how much I truly enjoyed this anime. While there was nothing unexpected in the story, there was multiple situations where I was able to relate to my past experience with work and relationship. So for someone older, this anime probably comes close to resembling past experiences to watchers, thus enjoying it more.

Watch it... Even if you are not into romance animes, it's short so it wont be a heavy load. (show less)

This is one of the most trickest anime I have had to review.. IN general it is a good story.

Its not fancy or eye grabbing and doesnt introduce new conecepts, However it is a very down to earth no filler and direct story. Its the practical romance of two people who came together under a interesting circumstance and how they benifted from each other that sparkled into romance.

Much unlike other strories which I have seen in anime.. this one is more of maintaining a relationship than actually trying to found a relationship. However for being quite short, it does deal with very great concepts such as the human mind and how it can say one thing and mean another. How people function in a relationship and how things can be very difficult with misunderstandings...

In review it packed quite a bit of real life elements and lessions into a VERY short anime. IN that its awesome. I found the dialogue excelent as many of the voice actors are actually very good, however you have to listen closly for it because the director is actually trying to make the voices for the most part seem more down to earth so not a lot of bragging and showing off. Although Aka goes through a ton of voices and styles (due to her voice acting character) letting a sharp mind pick up on it.

Animation isnt as terrible as people would think, not star quality, they focus too much on bright lights and pastel feel I think, but overal it was tollerable. As for entertainment.. this isnt a series you think of as extremely fun or entertaining but it does give you a warm home feel and leaves you with a wonderful taste for the series and life in general witch few anime can pull off in general or any type of show really...

If you like romance, or dont mind watching a real life type potrayal of a relationship then this is a good show to watch (show less)
