I'll really miss Kieta Hatsukoi. I'll miss Aoki being his hilarious self, the bravest of the cowards. I'll miss Ida and his kindness, quiet yet so loud. I'll miss Hashimoto, with her perseverance and undying support. I'll miss Aida, always honest and not afraid to learn from his mistakes.

I'll miss the newborn yet sincere love of Ida and Aoki, and the one that it's slowly starting to blossom between Aida and Hashimoto.

I'll miss the cheerful and steady friendship of Aoki and Aida, and the sweet and wholesome one between Hashimoto and Aoki.

I'll miss the volleyball team and the way they cherish and care about Ida, as well as the homeroom teacher silently supporting them from behind the scenes.

I'll miss the warm feeling that I felt in my heart every saturday, and even tho I can meet all of them once again between the pages of the manga, I'll still keep a little glimmer of hope in my heart that someday we'll get season 2. Who knows, maybe it'll grow into a proper flame.

I get why Aoki was so scared to let anyone know that he and Ida were dating even though they were surrounded by supportive peers. The first person that found out (other than Hashimoto and Akkun who knew Aoki’s feelings beforehand) was Aoki’s tutor and he reacted horribly.

Aoki was definitely scared of that happening again. I’m so glad he had such a wonderful and supportive friend group, but that was his first instance of homophobia and it was from someone he looked up to. So of course he had some trust issues after that. Of course it became hard for him to tell people.

I am so glad that teacher was awesome and had a talk with the tutor. And I’m glad the tutor eventually came around and admitted the error of his ways. But something like that doesn’t just go away because the person knows better now.

The thing I loved the most about Kieta Hatsukoi is the reason the four of them fell for their respective crushes and they all had the same reason: kindness.

Aoki fell for Ida because he was kind. Aoki had just had his heart broken by Hashimoto (though she didn’t know it) and Ida was so gentle and supportive and helpful and Aoki fell hard.

Ida fell for Aoki because he was kind. One of the first instances of a full Ida smile was when Ida was thinking about how Aoki was kind.

Hashimoto fell for Akkun because he was kind to her. Even after his initial rejection, even after she slapped him, he remained kind. He admitted he messed up when he learned that Aoki liked Ida and of course Hashimoto saw that side of him and fell.

Akkun fell for Hashimoto because he wanted to make her smile. She was fiercely loyal and protective of Aoki and Akkun fell for her because she cared for her friends and her kindness showed in her protectiveness.

Anyway I love this show a whole lot and I’m sad it ended but it was a great ending.
