To love is Nothing. To be loved is Something. To love and be loved is Everything. The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end.
If two people are meant for each other, it doesn’t mean they have to be together right now or as soon as possible, but they will eventually. Loving the wrong person doesn't mean you're stupid, It was of that person not to appreciate your love. One can not truly experience the beauty of love without enduring the pain that comes with it once it is lost.
A truly great romance series I’ve watch for movie type. Even though the series is short, with duration 25 minutes, the character development play it role with simple outstanding performance. I’ll give it 9.8 / 10 for it. It’s not cliché and even I don’t expect too much from the movie. But, what I get is this feels satisfied overall and worth to watching it. Weird isn’t it? The series only have one episode yet it can give me the feel of satisfied. Let me clear this, I am really tough person to admit any anime series is really great unless if it’s true in my own perspective.
Story
A story about high school student named Makoto Nakazono who had abilities to see Grim Reaper or people who can take the life of others. He seen many people life has been taken of around him. His abilities freak people out since he can see this ‘black entities’ since kindergarten. Thus, he chooses to shut himself up until the black entities next target is none other than his childhood friends named Hazuki Horiuchi. Now his adventure to save his childhood friends will slowly begin. A story with hardship to seek the true love.
Animation and Art
The art and animation for this series is ordinary and pretty typical. I’ve seen worse than this so I can enjoy the art. It’s not that worse. The anime is your usual type of art animation. Don’t let it gets you, I know 2015 have many anime with a really great art and animation but this one still great despite it miss out one year.
Sound
The ending is quite catchy but not really memorable. Also this anime doesn't have ops. But the ending is not bad. Better check it out when you're finishing the anime.
Character Development
I love it. You sure play it right man. Don’t let others people steal your loved one. I wish I can be like the main character. Act first before regret. To think I could learn something from this series, haha you’re a great one. You just made my day. Who’s awesome? You’re awesome!
Enjoyment and Overall
I just kind of enjoy this series to my full heart content. The series have great storyline with no real flaws. Not like some anime that have so many episodes but dumb slow and failed at character development until the end of the series. So, if you’re looking for anime that can satisfied the urge to watch a great story. You've got it. In all honesty, you need to see this for yourself.

Pretty cool idea was way too short. If It were a regular movie length or even a 12 episode series I think it could have been way better.
