The first episode of the shoujo manga I've been waiting for. I've always been a fan of Yamamori-sensei's work, from Hirunaka no Ryuusei to Tsubaki-chou. So, I was excited. But seeing the animation in this episode was a let down. It was stiff, like when Kohaku was descending the stairs, it looks like the picture was moved not animated. I admit, it's pretty on paper, but there's little to no animation. The story is good for a first episode, both characters were introduced just enough for us to want to know more. I'm hoping the animation will get better tho.
