I enjoyed [episode 1 of] the anime a lot more than the manga due to how they portrait the characters.

Ohana got spunk (the non-bitchy kind, how rare is that!). The couple of droplets and the yelling of frustration at the end gave a lot more character emotional depth than what other anime fail to do in an entire arc. I also had a favorable impression of Kou (despite a somewhat lackluster exit), but he progressed quite fast (in terms of anime speed) and also very honest. Aside from that though, the other characters were quite boring (I had high hopes for Nako too

).

Should be interesting to see the characters continue to develop though

Spoiler for minor speculation:

Here's hoping plot will not disappoint.
