When he starts to learn more about the past he fears what will happen if his memories return
will his old personality take over again and will he forget about Koko?
This romantic comedy was more fun than I expected; amnesia may be one of the most overused clichés in anime but here it serves the story well and leads to some heart wrenching moments right up until the end I was unsure how things would work out. There are also plenty of laughs to be had especially when the 'Tea Party Club' are involved! Things may get more serious towards the end but the change of mood is done in a way that doesn't make one think it feels like a different show. The characters are likable with a great central cast and a well-rounded cast of supporting characters. Overall I really enjoyed this series, feeling that it got better as it progressed; I'd certainly recommend it to anybody wanting a bittersweet romantic comedy.
