More in line with the original webcomic than the manga, as shown by the art, which I actually really like. It’s more romance focused than Horimiya, however it only has half the runtime. It still has the same vibes as Horimiya, but I think they’re actually more potent here, mostly due to the art design. Anyways it’s the same story as the first four episodes of Horimiya with slight adjustments, but with less of the feeling of high school. Once again this show is no longer about what it means to be a high schooler like Horimiya, but more about the romance story of Hori and Miyamura. Which is fine, I still think, even with that focus, that it’s one of the better romance stories out there. It still has that maturity and believability, still those immaculate vibes, I just wish we had time to explore the side characters. The student council, which is such a delight in Horimiya, only has the bad first impression from the first interaction. We don’t have time to see them as people because they are presented like antagonists. Ishikawa and Yuuki don’t really contribute much either and a lot of characters don’t even show up because they came after, like Sawada and Yanagi. I mean I love the romance story and I love the art, but I prefer the original by a mile. Still worth the watch though and I hope I can read the full webcomic in english someday, it’s really weird with what we do have.
