A SPOILER OR TWO !!!!this beautiful show, oh my word man, what the heck?? it was so, so quiet but the storytelling was amazing. didn't once assume its audience was stupid. everything that happened, happened exactly the way it needed to. this series very quietly but intentionally created two beautiful, complex characters. the cinematography was amazing. i usually dislike timeskips, but i couldn't fault this one at all. it was exactly what they needed - there was no way hirukawa and minase could meet each other how they needed to the way they were in high school, within those circumstances. wow. just wow. insane rewatch value tooalso to realisation (i probably clocked on too late) that this entire time minase was writing their novel as a telling of the story was so insane. oh man, oh man.finished: 31 july
