Just finished the show today and honestly, I loved it!! The character dynamics between Akira, Nobuta and Shuji are so well done and it genuinely felt so wholesome and sweet watching their friendship evolve and the steady character development we saw from all of them.
Its a very wholesome slice of life show thats perfect for a nostalgia kick. I miss when shows could be so simple and have clear, meaningful plot progression.
The show is made with so much love for the main three characters and even the "makeover" aspect is done in good faith. Something you rarely see in shows like this.
And another refreshing aspect is that it doesnt devolve into endless love triangle drama. Its a show about the importance of friendship and how it adds value to our lives.
I will say though, I wish we got to see more of Mariko, I really liked her. And the resolution to the bully "mystery" plot was pretty underwhelming. Otherwise though, love love love!
