Tada Never Falls in Love

On a lively spring afternoon, Mitsuyoshi Tada, a camera wielding student who has never experienced romance, stumbles into trouble when he helps a new arrival from Luxembourg named Teresa Wagner. She is in Japan for a short time, but soon loses her bearings, and his instinct to lend a hand turns into a small, everyday adventure. He escorts her to his grandfather's cozy coffee shop, where the two begin to cross paths beyond simple courtesy. The series follows their growing connection as mishaps, shy smiles, and shared moments amid pale blossoms gradually draw them closer, all while keeping the tone light and hopeful rather than heavy.

Created by Yoshiko Nakamura, the series features Yuichi Nakamura as Mitsuyoshi and Manaka Iwami as Teresa, with Mamoru Miyano, Shino Shimoji, and Yuuichirou Umehara in supporting roles. The show premiered in 2018 and is noted for its warm color palette, gentle humor, and understated romance that fits the slice of life vibe.

Viewers praised the gentle humor and warm mood that underpins Mitsuyoshi and Teresa's encounters. The show leans into first love and cross cultural exchange, using photography and everyday life as a lens for growth while keeping emotional beats approachable, backed by a 7.433 rating from audiences. Its pacing keeps episodes compact and accessible.

The series stands out for its bright art and breezy pacing that let romance unfold with little melodrama. Fans cite Teresa's Luxembourg background and Mitsuyoshi's photo driven life as appealing contrast, creating a small yet loyal community that celebrates warm character moments.

While the show drew praise for its charm, it did not gain major award nominations. Critics noted its sunny aesthetic and amiable cast as strengths, though it remained a favorite among fans rather than a standout in awards circuits.
