I also liked that Touya's thoughts are all internal, just text on the screen. It gives them a more powerful image that they are "thoughts" rather than internal monologue like anime adaptations normally do.
We can already see some strains on Yuki and Touya's relationship. They had that long phone call, but otherwise it seems like the dream will slowly become reality. She will only get more busy, and have less and less time to spend with him. They like each other a lot, clearly, but they already seem so out of sync.
I was also surprised how close Yuki and Rina are. Rina really treats Yuki well, but not in any sort of sempai-kouhai relationship, but more as friends.
What I really wonder the most is how Rina gets closer to Touya to create this love triangle. It would be pretty cold-hearted if she met him solely through his relationship with Yuki, but I can't think of any other way she'd meet him, since Rina is just as busy as Yuki right now.
The OP was okay, a little slow for a Mizuki Nana song, but I really liked the ED.
