This is clearly a toxic relationship on both sides! And yet, you still manage to feel sorry for the characters and understand their perspectives, even though, as a viewer, some situations can be incredibly frustrating. Well, I'm speaking for myself, obviously.

Saeko and Miwa's relationship feels like something straight out of a psychiatric hospital. Neither of them has properly dealt with their trauma or taken the time to heal, yet they still decided to get together. Of course, things were never going to end well!

I genuinely loved this series! It deserved more episodes, but thankfully, we're getting a second season because there are still so many things left to resolve. The supporting characters are also memorable, and I particularly liked how the male characters were portrayed. Some of them genuinely made me laugh!

What I appreciated the most was how the series explored topics like internalized homophobia, first love, feeling ashamed of your sexuality, and the struggle to accept yourself. Everything was portrayed in such a realistic way, without trying to romanticize the characters' relationships or emotions.
