V1 has an OVA and an event ticket, which drives up the sales. I'm expecting V2 to sell less, as it doesn't have all those extras. If it stays this strong, though, I'd be very happy, as this one of the few shows this season I really, really like.

GAH!
Adorable! Rassa frassin... I wish it did not have to end. In any event it was very worth it - such a lovely and endearing series. Best of the season for me! Oh yes - forgot how FAST Hakuya can move when need arises.

man this series was really awesome, a really good end, why japan can't keep doing "more shows like this" rater than keep overusing the "superultra copy/paste cliches ones(specially harem) who are so too much cliche who ending being horrible "boring"(at last for me, aways looks like i'm watching the same show over and over about a "average mc who is good for nothing and dont want girls and bla bla bla).
really gonna be a miss. what i like is wich based on the sales this show with chuunibyou and witchcarft work proof who you can do really awesome shows(with high sales for the season and compared with current seasons overal sales) changing/avoiding or reducing the amount of "cliche things and you dont need the "average dense/coward/childsh prota-kun being targeted by all thje girls to have good sales all you need is have the courage and skills to make the difference and this can lead to sucess like that. |

And thus I bid farewell...to one of the most fun OP's I've seen in a while. This has been the rare OP that's been as fun to watch every time.
This was a really nice last episode. Almost feels like I should be standing up and applauding it or something . Really it was just a nice episode from start to finish. They really went all in on this one. The tone just felt right throughout. I mean it was just really good. As expected the reasoning for them going back did end up not that serious. Seems mostly the goal was to show report cards, change over clothes and such along with getting some herbs while they were up there. Though in the end it worked fine. There wouldn't have been time to do what they did if the reasoning was overly serious. Even in this last episode we keep getting some nice progress. Get a good view of what really bothers Kobeni. Certainly being alone isn't an unusual thing to be bothered by even more so when you have that inferiority complex. On top of her feelings for Hakuya and Mashiro I'm sure the fact that it felt like she was left behind was a huge thing eating at her early in the episode. Great moments throughout. Really showing how fast Hakuya can move when he's motivated and a nice chance to save Kobeni properly this time. Some really adorable scenes with the two of them after that. So Hakuya didn't outright lose his eyesight, but it was damaged enough that covering up that side of his face wasn't a big loss. On verge of being repetitive, this was a great way to end the series. Just some continually nice progress and Kobeni now not only being ok with the engagement but really accepting it. Would certainly say this is one of if not the top series of the winter for me.

Was anyone else struck by how absolutely perfect Kobeni's insert song was? This series was a really good example for me of doing things well on an overall level, but especially on the last ep. Lots of questions are still unanswered, lots of story elements are still dangling and undeveloped - there is plenty of potential for a second season. But the last ep was just done so well in so many ways. Kinda don't want to spoil too much here, but I hope others get what I mean and that they enjoyed this gem of a series as much (or even more!) than I did.

About the last episode, I was surprised Kobeni allowed Hakuya to princess carry her, but I expected more from the episode, we did not even got to see the houses of the mitsumine village (and Benio could have falled from the helicopter, a sign "Kids, do not hang from an helicopter leader with one hand" would have been appreciated while she felt into a mountain crevice >_<). |

As for the series, I started on it tomorrow (and finished it today) after somebody recommended it to me a few weeks ago. Must say I'm quite impressed. It's a funny and very enjoyable show. The interaction and developments are handled nicely and as somebody said, it is a nice change away from the usual stuff. The thing I liked most were the characters. Kobeni's just too cute, Hakuya's reactions (or lack thereof) that only Kobeni can read are great. Mashiro's funny with her acting like an adult or a child depending on the situation and Benio's crazy lolicon/siscon attitude is also funny. The side-characters are also done well like Mayura providing advice or Nadeshiko keeping Benio in check. All in all I hope that this series can get some kind of a follow-up. I think there is still enough potential for development out there.

And this is why this was one of the best shows this season for me. Heartwarming to the max, with lots of cute moments between Kobeni and Hakuya. Nice to see Kobeni admitting she likes Hakuya, even if she didn't say it directly, and how she scolded him for keeping secrets as if they were already married. And that insert song was just perfect.
We'll probably won't see more of this, but if we do, I'd welcome it with open arms.
