Not Enough Episodes/Time

LIKES:
STORY
- how they tackled adult themes like obsession, voyeurism, sex, pregnancy, blackmail, abuse and how abuse can be recycled.
- the message that only truth and communication can make relationships survive
- how they showed the power of friendship and how selfish a crush can be
- the way they explained that lies to yourself and others just breeds more negativity.
PRODUCTION
- filming and editing were okay, considering the limited episodes and their length.
MUSIC
- was well chosen for the moments of impact, but nothing too memorable
ACTING
- Kamio Fuju was great in his role, but everyone did a good job with what they were given.

DISLIKES:
WRITING: trying to make pedophilia seem like misguided love. Trying to pass off emotional blackmail as a part of growing up. Not enough time to really develop any of the characters or show growth.
TIMING: Some moments dragged on too long and could’ve used the time in a better way.
MUSIC- playing that violin song over and over, it was just too much.

OVERALL:
Fast watch, dark content with mixed messages. I would recommend it, especially due to the complex character of Ritsu. I have watched it again, but wished it was longer or had more episodes.
