The storyline surprised me in a positive way. I didn't expect to enjoy the show as much as I did.
One thing which bugged me was the English translation. It kept adding unnecessary things which the characters never said, like "my love," "honey," "love of my life..." This really presented some relationships in a more confusing way than in the original. Luckily for me I guess, I understand Japanese, but I was sorry for those who don't because they're missing a lot of nuance due to poor translation which cheapened the story.
I'm not the one to judge the individual relationships, but the ending bugged me. The couple overcame so many obstacles, got accepted by everyone including Haruto's family, and then ... in tears ... they just separated forever.
Why? There was zero reason for this.
I choose to believe that in the last moments, Haruto ran to meet Sakura in the secret place where they had promised each other to meet on that fireworks night, and where she already sat waiting.
Otherwise, the ending invalidates the entire story.
