Checked out the first couple of episodes of the anime and it is simply just not as good as the manga. The pacing is way off because of how much filler they need to pad the running time. Each chapter of the manga is very brief, but the way they measure out the story per panel and page is just about perfect. There is a very distinct tempo that just works in the manga and doesn't translate well to the anime.
The manga can be likened to the way a noh theater production presents itself. Wherein every line is measured as if there is a beats of the drum and clap of the wood blocks in your mind setting everything to a specific rhythm that harmonizes and pulls you, as the viewer, into the beats of the story. The exaggerated and drawn out boke of Elda compared to the fast pitched tsukomi of Koito don't lend themselves to this particular format and suffer for it. It has a very traditional comedy feel that the anime just fails to capture properly by dragging out to 24 minutes.
This would have worked much better as a series of short form interstitial anime between 6-12 minutes with a OVA or ONA serving as a expositional lore dump for the longer and more important stories.
