An engaging, charming series that imaginatively addresses the learning curve in building relationships, whether it's a young couple working through a somewhat unconventional courtship and early marriage or a mature couple or a gay couple. Changing societal norms and expectations are addressed and resolved in varying ways to everyone's eventual satisfaction. The chemistry between Gen Hoshino and Yuri Aragaki is great, as well it should be since they subsequently married in real life, and the relationship provides plenty of opportunity to for this couple to experience a range of the usual emotions from insecurities and uncertainty to confusion and ultimately trust, happiness and contentment.
This series is probably not for everyone, but it's a perfect gem for viewers looking for substance beyond the so-called swoon-worthy genre. It deserves thoughtful and attentive viewing.
