Sora no Manimani

[Kraco]

"Saku Ooyagi returns to his old town after seven years and becomes reacquainted with a childhood friend, the ever-boisterous Mihoshi Akeno; but the reunion is far from merry since his last piece of memory between them is of her falling off a tree and him diving to save her. Regardless, Mihoshi focuses her all into improving their tattered relationship and forces Saku to join her astronomy club." -AniDB

First of all I have to note I either wish another group will appear or TKK will invest a bit more effort into their work. The series itself doesn't really require the most amazing translations, I reckon, but still leaving multiple simple lines untranslated is dubious at best. It could have used a little bit of language check as well.

The series itself seems to be somewhere between Sketchbook and Manabi Straight, I'd say. With the obvious exception this one has guys in the main cast as well, which I consider a jolly good thing. I don't know how far the relationship between the main characters will develop, but I wouldn't mind if it got some attention as that would further distinguish this series from the usual stock (high-school club centered comedy / slice of life).

I'll probably watch at least the couple of next eps to see if this is the kind of nicely flowing series I like to watch every season.
