As someone who hasn't read the manga I was confused just trying to tell the characters apart! There's too many introductions at once and the character designs are adorable but I couldn't be sure if Nitori and Nitori with a wig weren't literally two different people. But I get the feeling it clears up as you keep watching, and reading this post I think I'll try reading the manga, too :D
See, that's what I was afraid of! And like, maybe it was worth it for the surprise, but I still think they could have done a better job to establish who Nitori and Takatsuki are, haha, instead of just sort of like, HI HI HI THIS IS YOUR ENSEMBLE CAST!!
Lol as soon as Debussy showed up on the soundtrack I was reminded of Lily Chou-Chou, which was a weird yet tangentially apt mental state to be in while watch Shimura coming of age story :')
Given that Aoi Hana had a very successful adaptation despite being totally unfinished at the time of its anime, I've got high hopes! Compared to that series, the character design here is feeling a little off to me, but I got used to it after a few minutes. I am going to wait for a few more episodes to pass legit judgement, but so far I am pretty happy with this despite the time constraints.
Ahaha, it's very fitting, but at the same time horrifying, isn't it? The other day I heard Arabesque for the first time in a long time and I was instantly like WHERE ARE MY MOURNING TEENS.
Yessss the fact that Aoi Hana already did it is what makes me relax a little? I so want this series to succeed, I think I'm a little overinvested in it, but the story is so wonderful in the manga, and it's so rare to see these themes addressed anyway that I feel like I'm at least a little justified. *holds you* LET'S HAVE FAITH TOGETHER. ♥

You can get volumes 4 and up from http://www.mediafire.com/?c7ckebdq3u1s7 ! Don't know where the scanlations for the first few volumes went though :(
