This series is very unique. From the artwork to the storyline everything is not what you would see in "any other anime". I'm not saying that everyone will like it or that it should be "number 1". But I feel that it is worth seeing because it's so different from what we all watch nowadays. The characters all have their own storys and the main character is cute (yes I said cute) the way he is so shy. If you like this I also recomand the manga series.
