I love the build up in the start with Izumi & Noji and i really they would end up together, until the director decides to just twist the story for Izumi.
All of the buildups and the cute scenes is just wasted and Noji is just suffering all of the consequences of Izumi insecurities after all the hardwork he did.
Nevertheless if they focus more on Noji & Izumi relationship this story would turn out more better since they will solve their problems together.
I hope that they will not keep this kind of plot as a trend and bring good lesson to youths
