I quite enjoyed it, infact it's my favourite love anime, only because they actually kiss and admit that they love eachother and we see some actual development, instead of 100 episodes of bugger all happening. Seriously is it the culture or do people in japan just love not seeing development?
Actually, the topic of love is a little more reserved in japan. Even when the say they "love" someone, like daisuki or suki, I actually means "I like you" because to actually say literal love or something like "aishiteru" is to heavy and embarassing a thing for most people to say.
I honestly can say that there are Japanese who will go their entire life without saying "I LOVE you" to even their wife or husband, because "suki" or some form of it gets the message across without being to dramatic.
SOOOOO.... yeah, it takes forever for development partially because it isn't japanese culutre too be so blunt about your affection for someone. Thats why there is that stereotypical line of "B-B-Baka!... d-d-don't say it so bluntly...!!"
It is a cultural thing.
