It's an interesting series. Many people criticize it for the alteration made to the original story, the gender change of the protagonist, etc. However, I think those details do not detract from the enjoyable things this series has. First of all, we must highlight its music, because the ost is really fantastic. It really transports you to the feelings that the series transmits, feelings of nostalgia, melancholy, etc. And I think the music reflects that very well. Visually, it's a nice series. The main character is kind and helpful. The main defect that we can find in this work is the plot at the end, since itis perceived that they had to invent a somewhat improvised and forced ending.

Regarding the book and the other anime version, I have seen it and I have read the book as well. The other anime version also has errors that come out of the original plot, and some details of the end of the series have details that I personally did not like.Neither version is faithful to the book.
