Overview:

Kizuki, whom Mizuho saw as the group’s crybaby little brother, has been hitting on her lately. Since Mizuho believed she and Kizuki would be childhood friends forever, she is not sure how to approach this situation. He’s on her mind that she seems disoriented and even says something that could push Kizuki away.

Our Take:

I have a theory that one of the guys is gay and has a thing for Kizuki and we’ll go beyond a love triangle in this show. There’s four guys and then there’s Mizuho, and then there’s the title of the show. Exactly who is falling in love with whom? I haven’t decided how I feel about this show yet, and they’re tiptoeing around “the disease” is silly. But if I had to choose a favorite couple so far, I would say that I like Kizuki and Mizuho together but when you’re seen as a little brother that is a hard mountain to climb.

It also seems like we’ll be getting peeks into Mizuho’s future a bit more than the first episode. I hope these give us a little more insight into things but I’m still under the impression that she’s single in her later life. This makes me concerned that we’re going to have a sad ending or a bittersweet one at the very least. If we get an ending at all.
