Series in more sentences:
After going through elementary school getting shunned for his angry face, Raidō is set on making a friend on his first day of high school. However, the girl he has his eyes set on has her own bad childhood experiences and admits not to know how to conduct herself towards a friendly face.

When it becomes clear he won't push her away regardless of what she does, she instantly becomes attached to him. It's the start of a charming, yet odd friendship.

Almost good, but some of the later episodes slightly dragged down the series. Raidō's moments of wild imagination were a bit too much at times as well. Like, my guy, you're not 8 anymore.

I love shows that manage to reel me in the first few seconds of the first episode, and characters like Raidō are my favourite; friendly, timid, trying to see the best in every weird situation, and an angry-ass face.
Characters like Aharen I've seen way too often, but she pushes my boy in plenty of awkward situations and they're fun to watch, so I won't complain.

I got worried when this Aharen-obsessed girl showed up out of nowhere, because, like, wasn't she supposed to be a friendless outcast? This girl was not entertaining to watch and just another overly scared and shy fangirl archetype, but even though she could've been left out, I didn't mind her as much at the end of the season. If the show committed to the spying-running gag and showed her hiding away in all kinds of crazy places every few scenes or so, that would've been genuinely funny.

The camping drama was an interesting turn of events, but the conclusion was truly soft-brained. The pure idiocy. What a disappointment.

In any case, not a bad watch, the first few episodes alone make it worth it. Would watch another season, honestly.
