I finally understand the buzz about Hotaru no Hikari! It's refreshing, entertaining, and an enjoyable watch with a fantastic and lovable cast. I wish the writer had worked on Makoto's character more; he's stiff and was only there to advance the storyline. The show recovers by having the amazing Ayase and Naohito playing the leads, so I was content! Also, that ending wasn't too pleasant it was left too open, leaving the viewers to question what happens next. But, that's why we got season two! The show was able to engross me in its story, even if the plot is simple, but it grasps me with its characters and humor.
