I expected a slice of life anime about cute boys doing cute things. Which this very much is! What I didn't expect is that I found it quite deeply emotional in a subtle way. Most of the boys have unrequited crushes on girls younger or older than them and they are developed in a way that I found realistic and respectful to everyone involved. And then there's Shun, who rejects someone in a way that is very kind and is never expected to explain or justify that decision. It's nice. While all of this could obviously be improved by the addition of gayness, it's still prettygreat :3
