The title says it all...^__^

This is one of those cases where the title says it all, really! ^_^;
Because that's exactly what this dorama is: a "monologue between two people" ("futari"). The concept is simple yet interesting: instead of showing a dialogue between the two leads, they went with a double "interior monologue" that compelled the actresses to act silently (both Fukuhara Haruka and Yanagi Miki passed that "test" with flying colors, BTW!), then using the "voice over" to fully portray their feelings and thoughts! And, believe me, so much is going on in those pretty lil' heads of theirs! ^___^
The experiment was fully successfull, as far as I'm concerned: several scenes ended up being plainly hilarious (just take a look at the first 3 or 4 minutes, you'll get an idea!), the actresses, as already mentioned, did just great, the music is nice (particularly the ED song)...this might not be a full-fledged masterpiece, but it's still pretty original and very entertaining!

A monologue of two people. What a fitting title for this.

Overall
If you want an easy watch with great comedy and amazing acting, give this a try.

Story
I enjoyed the story. Definitely not a deep story by any meaning but I really liked the set up for the show. How they used to be friends and it took Hinata so long to realize she knew Mikage, meanwhile Mikage was slowly dying in the inside to be recognized by Hinata. Great start. Then the main formate the show took, just letting us listen to both character's monologues and how they read each situation completely different. Amazing. And the comedy was great. Literally laughed out loud many times.

Acting/Cast
I had seen both actresses from Super sentai before the show came out and was the reason I found out about this. Then I took so long to find subs for this and by now I have seen both lead actress in many shows. Fukuhara Haruka is always great for shy characters and this earlier work is no exception. Yanagi Miki is lovely in dynamic roles and this was a great fit for her. She really was amazing from her very nonchalant to her overhyped part, they were acted perfectly.

Rewatch Value
Honestly, I thought this was hilarious. I will probably watch this again sooner than almost anything due to it being a very short and easy watch that really entertains.
