Summary:

Hashiba Natsuki (Matsuoka Yoshitsugu) has a crush on Kobayakawa Anna (Tsuda Minami). A typical high school romance, except for the fact that Hashiba's friends meddle and discuss his (and their own) personal lives any time they can. Katakura Keiichi (Shimazaki Nobunaga), Naoe Tsuyoshi (Uchiyama Kouki), and Matsunaga Tomoya (Eguchi Takuya) all love to talk romance. Slowly but surely though, each of them go beyond mere discussion and face the realities of their own potential relationship journeys. This is a story about four friends, each supporting one another as their intimate lives continue to develop and grow.

Own opinion:

Although each episode is only 15 minutes in length (yeah 15 mins.), the series has been greenlit for two consecutive seasons. It's an interesting experiment that might solve many of the time constraints that affect pacing, substance, and production deadlines that afflict many a romance anime. Longer arcs mean more time to dedicate to each character and fleshing out their respective stories. We'll see if the tradeoff pays off. I'm really curious to this one I wish this will be a successful anime, specially I'm into romance and comedy. I have read the manga and its very funny! Similar to Kimi to Boku but with more focused in the romcom of the characters. I'm so excited for this manga to get adapted.
