    I love this show. Seinen romance is one of my favorite genres. I also love the character designs. It is very difficult to pull off a cute look with such short hair, but Rokka is great.

    Netorare time!

    Bah, don't classify this show into such a vile category. The dead have no rights! Except the right to not have their grave defiled.

    I also felt like this will be one of the best shows this season. Just the sheer lack of kids make it refreshing. It also doesn't hurt the main character looks like the minor nanpa dudes and bullies from the streets in shounen shows. He might be a coward to a degree but he still has some attitude.

    I'll definitely keep watching unless something unexpected happens.

    I just used the term because it was used a lot in the first episode by the dead husband and the protagonist. I hate that category, personally.

    Liked it.

    Quite difficult to engage intimate relationship with a lady when her dead husband is right there watching

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    I loved that part. It really betrayed expectations, and is more realistic.

    Hazuki really has mastered the way of words... But yeah, forgetting the ghost this felt realistic after the usual shounen fare. Still, unexpectedly quick, story wise. I thought it would take at least a couple of eps more to get to that point considering the dude's shyness and the interventions by the ghost, but then again, it ended up failing, so this is just more drama. In the bigger picture the real result of this incident might only end up being Rokka realising just how much younger the dude is.

    And Hazuki realizing how much Rokka loves her dead hubby.

    The last part where both guys said the same thing was excellently done.

    So Rokka called her husband Shimao-kun when they're married? Uh, isn't that a little weird or is that normal?

    It's not normal, but I guess she could not get out of the habit of calling him that before they got married. She was delirious after all, so maybe she reverted to their prenuptial days.

    She was calling him that when he was still alive in the hospital scene when he wanted to give her the divorce papers.

    Each episode makes me love this show more.

    The ED is also fantastic.

    It's about time that ghost started showing some balls. If you're going to haunt something, do it properly dammit. Also, I think I'm getting a little tired of her crying, insensitive as that makes me.
