It's a beautiful love story, although it's a bit short and has an open end. It shows faithfulness and pure love despite hard circumstances and poverty, and that love can't be bought or forced ... It also shows the sadness of both poor and rich people (how poor people have to work hard to live and not choose the easy way to earn money by throwing away their dignity and selling their bodies, and how rich people have difficulties to live free of the family obligations and formalities and to trust people...) The end was clever, it wanted to show that people can begin from zero and changethemselves to be better and change (for the sake of the loved one), exactly like did Japan after the disastrous earthquake...

The development of the characters was good (compared to the number of episodes).

It's an old animation, but it has beautiful art (the same as "oniisama e" ...).

There's no comedy at all.

The problem is that it's not available on the net (I found it subtitled to Arabic).

I really recommend it, it's a touching and realistic story.
