Don't put this on spoilers because people have the right to know this before hand. At first looks like just a "comfy" romance, with two lost souls finding each other and forming a family. But no... it's not it. When you finish you'll realize that from the beginning it was actually a "forbidden" romance... between the protagonist and the little girl. You'll instinctively deny this while watching the first episodes, but the ending recontextualizes everything and everything makes sense in retrospect. The story could have ended 10 minutes before leaving you feeling relived, still able to deny, but no, the story ends only after shredding all doubts that yes, the romance was between the man and the little girl all along. They actually put the effort of making the two officially getting together when she completes 20 years, exactly after she reaches majority to make it seems "appropriate". It's a pedophile story in disguise and I wish the story was more honest about this.
It's hard to forgive how this story developed and ended.Some could argue that parts of the story were absurd on…
The way Towa survived was ridiculous! The whole scene was already having a very hard time convincing me on the danger of the situation, with that factory having so many doors and windows making so easy to enter and leave, but the characters believing that Towa had died apparently because his whole body disappeared like smoke without leaving a trace? This was so unnecessary and his survival adds nothing to the story.
Now, what I really was wanting to complain for a long time, Ren. He was truly really the real the biggest and single "retard" in this story! For what I understood he isn't "100% legally normal", he would be something like a savant, maybe, but doesn't matter. He was the big villain! He did everything wrong, everything! I understand his fear of losing that place for him and his sister in the beginning, but how can he claim to be making all that bad decisions to "protect" him after the girl gets blinded! There's no excuse and he had no right to appear at the charity concert at the end.
Also, file and process against Takegami, and the judgement starts already at the next day? There was no investigation? No one gave their testimony in advance? Just one of the people involved were heard? WTF!! It's just the drama making an effort to show how wrong the justice system in Japan is or is just the drama being bad? It's not possible that something like this can happen, just hear one side of the story and believe 100% without question. And the story completely ignored that Taeko was raped more than one time, they just need to go that that police station to denounce that she had already tried to seek help and the system was complicit. Oh, and I also felt that the story kinda "forgotten" that she was pregnant by the end.
It's hard to forgive how this story developed and ended. Some could argue that parts of the story were absurd on purpose to "denounce", bur really, t was ridiculous. I was already thinking on advance about all the complaint's I could make here while I was watching the last episode but the last minutes made me mad! Read my next comment in spoiler.
What the f... When we first see how that Kazuma goes about trying to find his sister I already thought he was a moron, half-crazy, but holy crap! DUDEEEEEEEEEE!
Fujimura from 1993 to 2003... that was one hell of a character development for you. wow!
I can't believe that he is still working there! They try to "redeem" here? Even if they did I can't accept this. I can't accept how these japanese stories always try to hid all the dirty and let criminals free.
Amazes me how japanese morals and ethics can be so absurd. Putting cover ups first at all coast. No matter the crime and depravity, what horrifies the characters most is the fear of anyone knowing about. Shocking.
If I had noticed before that this was from the same writer who did Marumaru Tsuma I wouldn't have bothered watching. There's some disgusting discourses here.
I watched the episode 2 now and I'm really feeling cheated, that the first episode sold me a lie.The episode presented…
Episode 3 was better, but episode 4 was "bad", and episode 5 was glaringly wrong. How can that Ministry be wrong, for not giving billions of public money to a private and superfluous project when there's so many other priorities in the country? (and with the projected future expending from the Olympic) Another incoherent and illogical speech in the end, with the character trying to convince his father to engage in corruption removing his project from the list just because they worked hard, and completely ignoring Sakura earlier suggesting to re-bid the project with a more realist budget. Hilarious.

Samura is SMOL! Seriously, how shot is she? Or the production uses tricks in some scenes to make her appear shorter? Anyway...
Because I had seen the photos posted in the pages of the other episodes this didn't went exactly as I expected. It starts 10 years in the future and Sakura is in coma, we see the story unfold as a flashback being told by the other character. This I didn't liked, you probably already seen this being used plenty before, it's hard to believe that Sakura will not get better by the end. It''s cheap drama, and unnecessary drama, because the rest of the episode already have good enough drama. Sakura suffers in other ways beyond being bonked in the head and this is the interesting part. Sakura is an "eccentric" personality and as you can imagine, she has a hard time fitting. Worse, the story begging with her being recruited by a big corporation and no matter how genius you can be, if you're new how had to abide by their "rules" and fit in quietly.
I'll say no more, just that it was good enough to continue.
At first Sakura "eccentricity" annoys, but both the script and the actress gets more comfortable with the role during the episode, you can get used to her.
If I remember correctly, there was a plan to build a bridge when Sakura was younger, but the plan was scrapped/delayed…
Well, then a new plan is needed, and then there'll be a new "competition" for what company offers the better bid to build the bridged. This is what would normally happen, right?

Seriously?
She looks just like young Sayuri Yoshinaga in this movie.
