It might not be the best or most original storyline but I'm enjoying it so far. It's funny and cute, even if it has some questionable stuff (mostly from Souichi).
Also, it got pretty serious there with Souichi so we'll see where that goes (though I think that might be developed in the other series)

Kurokawa's friend and mom really make this series, tbh.

Kurokawa's mother is such a comic relief. I hate Souichi though.
