  COMMENT:
  
  Well for the story, I really liked it! For someone like me who always chooses the genre to watch this is somehow out of my genre, but partly in line too..lol
  Coz I usually watch -romantic comedy with love triangle, mystery/detective, and tragic- dramas.
  The story revolves on the 4 friends, finding their selves and helping each other out.
  Also learning to come out from your shell.
  
  Most of the comments I read says that the manga is better than this, but we should know that already.
  If your an avid manga reader, they really change most of the plots when it comes to live-action series.
  
  
  There are funny scenes too, the one where Keito bought her first cellphone.
  Coz she withdrawn herself from the society when she was 10, and after seven years she went out to see the world.
  
  You Just gotta see it for yourself guys~!
  Anyway, it's just 6 episodes.
  Yatta~!!!
