“This is like a moving painting I really like the art on this anime. It doesn’t have a dull moment especially when Nazuna Nanakusa is around she’s very funny with her teasing and reactions. They are also slowly introducing other characters to make things more interesting which is very nice. Ko Yamori is the type of kids who is seeking adventure who wants to reach out to someone and spend time with them. Very nice anime, again amazing artwork.” – User review, via IMDB.
