I liked the story!! It was cute and somehow I liked the atmosphere of it. As if you were just looking at an episode of their lives. ^^d
I liked the part where Shinjirou showed him the note with "A friend is someone who knows everything about you and still likes you" written in it. And Naoya doesn't get it in the beginning, even though the message is really good! And then Shinjirou explains it
>w<~<3

The 'In English' part reminded me on a Japanese commercial with the actress Amamai Yuki (she acted in stuff like Boss or Gold, if you happen to come across that XD). The commercial is for learning English and there is a family eating in the living and the child goes 'okawari!' to their family and so Amami comes to the room and says 'in English, please and then the child says again 'owAri' this time with an English accent! It was so cute! >w
