  I remember being excited about this drama because I really loved the manga it's based off. Unfortunately, this drama just didn't do it for me.
  
  The first few episodes were good. The actress who plays Miku is really cute! Miku and Hayato were my favourite characters...and I wanted them to end up together because I felt like Hayato deserved a happy ending. I couldn't really sense any chemistry between Souhei and Miyuki or between Souhei and Miku...
  
  I wish the drama had stuck to the original story - there was more depth to the side characters Takki and Kiyoka - they actually have background stories and plot! But none of that was shown here. I actually like the character development shown by both Miyuki and Miku in the manga, but, again, this wasn't really shown in the drama.
  
  It was a real struggle to get through the rest of the drama because I kept comparing it to what the story could've been and found the plot and characters utterly lacking. I'm really disappointed in this drama. :( read more

  Just finished this one. I gave it 5/10 yet still I really liked this. Why 5, you ask? Because I think this would've been a lot better if it was a movie instead of 12 episode drama.
  
  The acting... really bad. I felt like I was watching stones :'D The music... it fits the drama but it's repetitive. I hope there would've been more variety to the music. The story... slow slow slow. Like I said, would've been better as a movie.
  
  This is very short review but... yeah.
  
  This drama is cute indeed but... that's all.

  Both are mild summer dramas about love between high school students,both have short run times. Both are pretty enjoyable...

  Both are about the innocence of first love in high school. They leave you with the same happy feeling and have similar visuals :)
