Many people would read the plot of this anime and be like . But this show is not just about love. after the first few episode the show becomes more focused on chasing your dreams and never giving up no matter what. As someone who lost my dream 3 years ago this show really had a great impact on me. I think the love story is really secondary. The old guy feel like what would the heroine become if she really give up her dream. The show ended with a good message and i really enjoyed it.
