The approach to the characters' difficulties is incredibly nuanced as friendships form and intensify. I think the narrative portrays in a very explicit and intriguing way how gratitude and respect within relationships are what motivate the characters to abandon the repressions they impose on themselves. The level of depth in the relationships caught me off guard, and in addition to addressing themes of self-image, the anime also addresses the rivalry between the characters' schools as a frequent theme. Also, Rintaro's friends took down those bullies, a whole group of male characters who end up being gentlemen. Furthermore, Kaoruko and Subaru's relationship is one of my favorite themes; I love their episode. 💕 I wanted to talk much more, but I hope to see more of Waguri and Tsumugi's development. I think all their interactions are perfect, and no one can change my opinion. I identified with Natsusawa, but especially when he was trying to explain subjects to the group. no matter how hard I try... I'm really looking forward to the next episode!!!!
