Ugly cat
Right from the first episode, there is a major consistency problem with the characters. The ML uses the FL’s sick grandmother to get what he wants, a real jerk move that feels completely out of character compared to how he is portrayed throughout the rest of the series. I could have overlooked these contradictions if the show hadn’t been such a slog overall, especially the last three episodes, which feel stretched as much as possible. To make matters worse, most of the secondary characters are quite unlikable: the vet and the receptionist are irritating, and the minor filler characters like the vlogger and the writer are just awful.P.S. That cat was one of the ugliest things I have ever seen.

Not that bad.
Overall, the show is pretty mid, but Koshiba Fuka is insanely good in it. I haven’t seen the anime or read the manga, so I can’t speak to how faithful her portrayal is, but her performance is over the top, in a way that somehow works. She is operating on a completely different plane from the rest of the show. She doesn’t just carry it. She drags it kicking and screaming across the finish line. That’s not to throw shade at the rest of the cast. They all do a fine job, but every time she’s on screen, the show suddenly remembers it’s supposed to be interesting.Unfortunately, this kind of show lives and dies by its episodic stories, and here they’re mostly just there. None of them are especially good, none of them linger, and once an episode ends it basically evaporates from memory. It’s honestly a little tragic to watch such a locked-in, maximalist performance stuck in material this disposable.
Still, I’d recommend the show to anyone who’s a fan of hers or anyone who might become one, because watching her act circles around everything else is kind of fascinating in its own right.
