I'm not a fan of shoujo anime at all, but this storyline was enough to capture even my heart.
A wonderful, simple story that will really make your insides turn to mush - which is no mean feat, considering I don't get moved so easily lol.
The characters are lovely and the side cast are brilliant. Sadako's best friend Chizuru and Yano are hilarious.
I actually find most women in anime very very annoying, however Chizuru and Yano are brilliant. What I love most about this show is that the characters are also very real.
Whilst Kazehaya may be a bit far fetched in the boy's department, I feel that all the characters can be related to in some way, which makes the watching an even great experience.
Also Ryuu is fantastic XD
Even if you're not a fan of shoujo or romantic anime, which I can honest say that i'm not.
Give this anime a chance.
You won't regret it and it will be the great exception in the shoujo realm ;)
