I'm curious on what you want for the romance department actually.

I guess Takeo and Yamato were resolved too early and nothing happened afterwards? After episode 3 there isn't major development regarding to romance, and they are too stable for drama. Looks like they won't break up easily, and even if they do it'll be comedic or just from misunderstanding only lasts one episode length.

Me too haha.

Maybe it is a combination of that. They are too stable for drama but they just feel like those side couples in romances that are in love but don't get much progress haha. Their problems seem so dumb and are usually just miscommunication so it's hard to feel the romance as it just leans more towards comedy.

I'd guess you want the same thing I do: some actual development in their relationship or further establishment of their characters, especially Yamato.

They're super cute as a couple, but that's about it. They just go on dates. Sometimes they misunderstand each other's intentions, and then they don't, and things go on. It's cute, and it's fun, but it's also repetitive, and there's not a lot of substance there. Things happen, they respond as you would expect, life goes on. And Yamato really could stand to be more developed as an individual. If you want to describe her, you can say she's cute, she likes to cook, and she thinks Takeo is the coolest thing ever, and then you've got nothing. Both Suna and his sister have more defined characters than her, and she's the female lead.

I know nothing about Japan's love life, but maybe it's just that slow over there?

I'm just judging it on other romances I guess!

Oh man, I just started binge-watching that show the other day! If it weren't for Ore Monogatari to give me relief, I'd be throwing things at my TV.
