Did it add anything to the existing episodes? No
Was it necessary? Absolutely Not
Was making a fellow classmate stalk them for material worth it? Nope.
Was seeing the gorgeous Takara and Super Smitten Taishin worth it? Absolutely Yes.
This wasn't Japan's best by any means but I liked the MC. They were sweet and sometimes that's all you need. Uncomplicated.
So no, this was no Cherry Magic, Kieta Hatsukoi, If It's With You or Our Dining Table yet it had it's own charm.
So one useless (SPECIAL EPISODE not SPINOFF) was worth less than 25 minutes of my time.
Not for everyone but we are all different people.
