Kamisama no Ekohiiki Episode 8

(SPOILER) This drama will make you root for everyone

Very cute and wholesome, with light angst. For 8 episodes it was very good.As a fellow woman and man lover, I love how they addressed bisexuality. It threw me back to when I was discovering that part of my life again. Rin and Kenta figuring themselves out and their feelings towards Yashiro was just ughhh amazing.All the characters were loveable you will end up rooting for them all. Obviously Yashiro and Kenta were endgame, but honestly I 100% understand why Rin and Kagura liked Yashiro too. Wouldn’t even be mad if there was a love triangle between Yashiro, Rin, and Kenta because it would actually work and make sense unlike many other romance media. If there were more episodes definitely would’ve been good to explore but with 8 episodes only, glad that they didn’t.Only gripe was with the directing sometimes. Some scenes would’ve had more impact if the cinematography focused on their faces, with visual sound effects. Some parts also felt a bit slow.Otherwise directing was good. The little nuances and characterisations they had was rly good and was obvious enough to be picked up but not that obvious where it was right in their face. Examples like Yashiro’s turmoil when trying to accept that he can’t get his body back. Also wish that Kagura and Rin had better closure with their arcs but honestly it’s not that bad considering that the central plot is about Yashiro and Kenta. Not really a negative, just something I like to nitpick. I think Kagura was the least developed which makes sense cause she only becomes main more than halfway through. Honestly I thought she was severely bullied and was pushed or smthn by the way they portrayed her. Acting was alright, had some great moments had some bad but honestly the bad parts were also amplified by the directing ngl. Best one was Sakurada Hiyori she was so good in this.Very solid show. Cringe humour made me die at the beginning but that’s also part of the charm. Would probably watch again but omw to read the manga first
