If I could find a region 1 set under 900 dollars I'd be watching it too. With Kodansha releasing the manga again in the US, and it hitting high sales numbers, we may be seeing another state side anime release.

Finished Hatsukoi. I was pleasantly suprised. Despite having backround art like it was drawn by Kubo Tite (Bleach), it was a fun, light, fanservice filled series.
