I really don't know how to feel about this series. I don't get any happy feelings about the main couple. I'm bummed about how small a role Chiaki gets, since he's my favorite character. I'm curious about Riku's family issues. I just wish he had spoken up when Ten confessed and also told her that he didn't want her to start wearing makeup and losing weight to try to impress him. I can certainly imagine a teen girl doing that when she likes a boy for the first time, but him going along with it makes it seem normal or like a good idea, and I don't agree. Also, is a broccoli tree for Christmas a normal thing in Japan?? I was shocked and amused.
