Just as the courting portion of the story in the book's first half, Taiga's believable responses to Ameya is what makes this book work so well. His reactions to her eccentricities are comical and not because they're exaggerated – it's simply because they read so believably and are handled in earnest. The source material for the series is a novel based on a blog where a writer shared his own experience with his fujoshi girlfriend and that personal touch remains ever-present in this manga edition.


Tensai Okamura has helmed enough amiable cliché constructions (Project Blue Earth SOS and to a lesser extent Darker than BLACK) that he is well-versed in the mantra of all genre-bound successes: "Execution, execution, execution." No matter how skillful your distillation of the better qualities of a chosen genre, it means nothing unless executed just so. Okamura is very good at the "just so." The first episode is a study in slick animation and slicker action, looking every bit as smooth and regular as Rin's life is at that moment. He tries—and fails spectacularly—to get a part-time job, beats the tar out of some sadistic punks, and argues with his dad the crazy priest—all in clean, nearly flawless animation.
