These flashback episodes are such tearjerkers.

And even though the connection between Marika and Lion-san is revealed during the OP animation, it's nice to finally learn a little more about it. The way the story continues to tie characters together with properly placed flashbacks is really something to behold. It's great writing.

What a great anime :) I feel so attached to the characters even though it's such a slow moving show. I find myself not minding the pace as the characters are so endeering, the music is lovely.

One of my favourites in a long while.

the time line dose not work when you fit in the stuck up girl. or is the girl the teacher and just looks just like the stuck up girl?
