instantly fell for the style of which this series was filmed/edited. the filter alone was enough to convince me to binge watch all episodes in one afternoon (though my witty heart said “nah, let’s savor this!” and thus extended the binge to an entire week). the genuine nature of both Adachi and Kurosawa made for a great onscreen chemistry and partnership. Adachi’s anxieties most of which were due to his own inexperience in love that pop up throughout the show were relatable. as a twenty-something virgin (in all areas of physical or romantic intimacy) it’s almost bittersweet to hear a character whom i deeply resonate with working towards something they’ve been weary of (i.e. falling in love or being in a relationship). and seeing Kurosawa’s seemingly one-sided crush gradually grow into a sincere connection between the two colleagues was enough to push me to read/buy the manga. all in all, though the side couple story was worked in a bit to fast for my taste, it was still great to see the healthy and practical emotions/interactions between different characters.
honorable mentions go to Udon for being a cute cat with a dope name and Fujisaki for being a comforting smile in the face of suffocating familial/societal expectations (i am also uninterested in love atm. you do you!)
