I have no idea how this fares compared to other romantic comedy drama anime series, but I finished both seasons of this and overall I loved it.
I thought series 2 was significantly worse as it had a few meandering plot threads and sort of seemed to just repeat the same kind of perils and tensions of series 1, sometimes losing ground they had already gained between characters for arbitrary drama. And some of the Hidaka love triangle stuff felt a little forced (and Hidaka less sympathetic), but the ending was lovely and satisfying and overall for some reason I was very engrossed in Ono and Haruo getting a happy ever after, warmed to them a lot as a couple and found their communication-via-fandom sweet and relatable.
But the best thing about series 1 was the end credits song and the deployment of it which hit me in the feels so. many. times. Series 2's one wasn't the same
Overall a sweet and involving show I was glad I watched!
Now making my way through Death Note for the first time.
