A well written story, very entertaining and interesting to watch, it is mix of friendship, career, self- discovery, self- love, and romance. The art is very pretty too. Considering this was created around 20 years ago, i still enjoy watching it, no need to redo season 1. I hope they will release more of its anime seasons very soon.
Because of this anime series, I am reading the manga... can't help to think the anime version would really bring a more magical feel to the "acting scenes".
Also, now reading the manga, I am so touched by the family-related topics as well. This is truly becoming one of my favorite stories.
