Comments:
Why are Japanese dramas always so short? Even after I finished this drama, I still wanted more!!! I'm pretty sure a lot of people felt the same way as I did, ehehe. Takane's love for Junko is so adorable. Although I was kinda like, "Huh? That's why you like her?" in the beginning, it was still cute the way he has a crush on her. Their relationship is so funny, it's worth watching at least once. The little kid so so freaking adorable too!
I also really enjoyed Momoe and Arthur's unexpected relationship as well. I mean, an otaku girl and a popular "ladies man" together? I already like it! It's only 10 episode, so what can be the harm?

My Rating:
8/10
