Why is this so cute?

If you want to watch a show that just keeps you smiling the whole way through, this is the show for you. It's sweet, funny and it doesn't go out of its way to make you hate the female character to justify two dudes getting together. I was just as invested in Hashimoto and who she was crushing on, as I was in Aoki and his crush. I also thought that Hashimoto and Aoki ended up having the most wholesome friendship ever.
So, the story: due to a misunderstanding involving an eraser, Ida believes that Aoki has a crush on him, when really Aoki has a crush on Hashimoto. This same eraser is also why Aoki believes Hashimoto has a crush on Ida. Oh great, a love triangle, am I right? *spoiler, it's not a love triangle* You'll find out what I mean later in the story.
What really impressed me about this story, though, was Ida's reaction when he thought Aoki had a crush on him. Yes, he had a mini freak out but instead of the stereotypical reaction that most guys have when another guy likes them, he actually took the time to think it over. He was very respectful to Aoki and asked him to wait for his answer because he wanted to give Aoki an honest one. This is the start of Aoki discovering that this mix up was turning into something real.
There is a bit of drama but they managed to condense the drama into each episode, really making it feel like the episodic manga it was based off of. Everyone got their happy ending, even if they did rush Hashimoto's ending.
