Adorable!

I absolutely adored this anime. Not for everyone but if you are someone who enjoys the themes of youth, self discovery, or just a sliver of human life, this is terrific. I would definitely not recommend for everyone, but it was a bit reminiscent of some of the feeling I got from Tsuki Ga Kirei.

One long scene sent me hurtling back into my own memories. I highly recommend one be in a reflective and quiet mood going into this one.
