Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of "Our Dating Story," I eagerly await the release of episode 12, which promises to be a captivating conclusion to the first season. The anime has consistently delivered heartwarming and relatable moments, and I am excited to see how the relationships between the characters will develop further. The preview for episode 12 hints at some major turning points, and I can't wait to witness the growth and challenges that the characters will face.
The series has done an excellent job of portraying the complexities of young love, with all its ups and downs. I appreciate how the characters are not portrayed as perfect, but rather as flawed individuals who are trying their best to navigate their emotions and relationships. The anime's realistic portrayal of teenage romance makes it all the more engaging and relatable. I am particularly invested in the relationship between Luna and Ryuto, and I am eager to see how they will overcome the obstacles that come their way.
