And that last smirk of Miyuki, make us questioning this movie too.is this Miyuki's real experience or her fantasy?
We could interpret her smile and answer to her husband however we like, and I think that's the beauty of it although it can be a bit frustrating to piece together!
All that Miyuki and the whole class have experienced are real, in that they all got to spend their summer with Yasuhiko play by play. What she and everyone's been grappling with in the second half of the movie is the fact that their summer with Yasuhiko was in no way organic. Yes, Yasuhiko can say that he treasures all the memories he's made with each classmate in all loops, but we can't deny the fact that he knowingly played with their feelings in order for him to go back to the future. That's what has been bugging me after watching the movie, to be honest.
Tomoe at the end of the film, is she came from future?she married with Yasuhiko?Yasuhiko is 300 years from future,…
Hi! It's been a while since I last saw this movie, so there might be inaccuracies in my answers.
From how I understood it, Yasuhiko stayed in the present and did not go back to the future. Enraged by the idea of being chosen last for the loop and having been visited by her future self to rewrite Miyuki's book, Tomoe persuaded Yasuhiko not to go back as she knew his home was in war.
Tomoe and Yasuhiko got married in the end. The person Miyuki met at the bookstore is, indeed, Yasuhiko. I love that Miyuki stared at him but didn't linger, which felt to me was her moving on/forward from lingering in her "shared" past with him.
During the confrontation scene in the library between Miyuki and Tomoe, Tomoe wanted to prove that she "won" in the sense that she was the one chosen by Yasuhiko and they are living a normal life. Miyuki, on the other hand, emphasized that Tomoe was blinded by her own anger towards the world that she never even noticed Shigeru's feelings for her -- or how the only reason she was chosen last for the loop was because Shigeru liked her.
Do you recommend I watch this? <3 also where did you watch the show? I cant find it anywhere!!
No worries at all! Oh, wow - I'm so obsessed with the music he puts out with his group, and he did such great acting in this drama! I'm a baby P1ECE - I started getting into them earlier this month. I love Keeho and Theo! How about you?

I highly recommend it if you're into comedic yet grounded stories with offbeat, flawed characters. I love how it explores dating/marriage and how women in their late 20s and above choose to engage in it.
I found the raws and subs on Drama-otaku. They have a strict process in creating an account there, but you should be fine once you get the hang of the requirements.
So sorry to hear that, and I totally echo your sentiments when it comes to how frustrating it can be to find jdramas you're interested in watching. I'll let you know when I find another way/come across any alternatives!
I've been sick over the weekend and finally binged this halfway through. Color me surprised at how genuinely offbeat yet realistic—and all the more engaging—this has been so far! I love how the writing doesn't shy away from presenting the flaws of every character, whether it's Minami, Yamada, or the men Minami has encountered during her marriage hunt. You find yourself rooting for Minami because you see parts of yourself in her, flaws and all.
Tomoe suggested that Miyuki, too, could rewrite—more like tamper with—the past, just as she did, with Yasuhiko’s pill and her own rage. Tomoe’s rewrite was tactical: a theft of narrative, a correction of being overlooked. But Miyuki’s unraveling reveals something quieter. We never hear what she tells her younger self, and maybe that’s the point. She’s not rewriting the past. She’s rewriting her relationship to it. To the memory of Yasuhiko. To the summer that was real only on her part.
That’s what sets her apart. Tomoe is driven by the ache of not being chosen until the end. Miyuki is driven by the truth of having experienced her first love, and grappling with its commodification. Her liberation lies not in changing the timeline, but in reclaiming the emotional truth that was never archived—the wind chimes that will remain a private memory between her and Yasuhiko. She rewrites not to revise history, but to honor the silences that shaped her.
I almost dropped this altogether because of the pilot episode and the awkwardness of having to watch the group and Oizumi Yo make the segments fun. (A bit harsh, yes) I came back to watch the episodes with Nagasawa Masami, TENBLANK, and Nanao--and I'm RELIEVED the members and the whole crew finally found their footing. The cooking, dynamic vision, and sense of size segments are well thought out. But what seems to be the thread that weaves all these elements together are SixTONES themselves. Their wits and humor are superb and have definitely caught my attention.
I felt conflicted when Makoto started to dress up normally, as a boy, upon confessing his feelings to Akira. It makes me wonder if he was unknowingly conforming to binary gender roles, especially when it comes to romance and dating. Can't fault him though given how rigid society is.
