I'm hedging by specifying which seasons this applies to, in case there's a surprise third season, but after almost 8 years it seems quite unlikely.
The average would be higher if the series was a bit less fast-and-loose with the rules of its universe. For example, some episodes pretend like cell phones don't exist, which gets pretty old the tenth time Kotoko is late for something but for some reason doesn't text or call Naoki to tell him. It doesn't help that Naoki in real life would be lucky if his parents even tolerated how uncommunicative he is, let alone a wife he vowed to love for the rest of his life.
Just in general, it's ridiculous how often stuff happens just because one character or another just doesn't communicate some important piece of information. I can suspend my disbelief only so much, even if this is a live-action manga adaptation.
Even so, the show's cute as heck, and it's a great feel-good watch. Even if I'd feel like punching Naoki five times a day if I lived in this show's universe, because he's such a schmuck sometimes.
