I'm watching this. I'm disappointed by the lack of bickering and forced living situation hijinks but it seems like a pretty sweet story. I'll keep watching especially because the length of the drama and each episode is short and watchable.

I Love this drama. Despite of only having seen the first episode until now,
This is doubtlessly a drama which is worth the watch. Love the comedystyle, And the romance is just too adorable.
Found the main character to be annoying at first, But in time as she tooned it down over the first episode, The drama just became even more to my likes. I hope the 2nd episode will be equally good as the first one.

If this drama ends well, I guess I will be reading another manga in the future.
Seeing a potential for a painful romance between the lead characters though.
It seems like there aren't but one person interested in the lead female.. Sugoi!!
Can't wait for the next episode to be subbed. The first episode was perfect, Just the right pace.

Well I just finished the second episode, but it doesn't seem to dragged out. If you watch episode 2 you'll know what I mean. Besides its 10 episodes long and 30 min per episode. It doesn't have time to drag.

I am watching it and yes,that is cute and innocent.It really is a summer drama.There have been a lot of kiss for a japanese drama I think!(even if we actually don't see anything).Actors aren't really good but they aren't bad either. The story is nice and simple and it feels good watching it.

the kissing is the only thing that annoys me cuz there is no actual kissing for a drama with so much kissing. it is shot at an angle to make it appear like they kiss then the camera pans away to the back of one of the characters head so u get a shot long enough to give the suggestion of kissing. i want to see actual lips touch damn it!! and not the boring pecks thing we're been fed in jdramas for ever.

sigh... ok rant over. i love hayato-kun. i wish i could just squeeze him he's so cute. i love his boldness with miku but at the same time he still manages to seem cute and innocent. i'll be sad when this drama ends. i hope it gets 11 or 12 epis.

and yeh the OST is awesome. it introduced me to group love and i downloaded their music. they're a good band so i have even more appreciation for sprout.
