Just yesterday, I just found out this Drama series. And I didn't even regret watching it.
I cried on every single episode! I literally just bawling my eyes out.

At first I thought the ending would be like "yay yay all the main characters alive and make it safely!" but no.
there are plot twist here and there, and sometimes unexpected.
I personally liked all the episodes, and of course the characters development.

The story also pretty much almost real-like. I mean, these kind of scenarios would happen anytime, and that is a plus of the story, I like reality-based anime.
the dialogue of each characters were very well-thought too. and I can see that the voice actors/actress give all their best, making it sounds realistically.

About animation, I don't really have that much complains because the art were done beautifully (especially the background, manna I love 'em!) but sometimes the character's mouth were off sync from the voices. sometimes the characters also make a derp face (and yes, in a critical time for me) that made me laugh my ass off and cry at the same time. well if you guys don't mind this kind of thing, it might be alright.

For people who likes drama and tear-jerking things/scenarios, this is one of the anime that you should see.
