The main female character was ANNOYING and she’s such an airhead.. Her, running after the guy who hardly looks at her, was humiliating to watch and frustrating.. How can you think that’s cute?? It’s like she had no self respect or dignity..
The poor swimmer friend, he was great and sweet and completely loveable, unlike the lead male!
I honestly fast forwarded through most of the episodes because I got too annoyed to watch it.
The only characters who I thought were great, were both in support roles, her best friend and the swimmer.
Girls just a heads up, it’s NOT cute running after a guy who doesn’t even look at you!

I feel kinda conflicted how I feel about it, maybe I should’ve waited until I’ve processed it and thought about it properly.. But then I doubt I would’ve written a review..
First off, If this was the other way around where a Male is older than the female, I don’t think it would’ve had the same affect on some people, as we’re “used” to men being older..
But it still doesn’t make it right, does it?
You can see the struggle within Hiriji, and she does try to run away from her feelings.. But she’s this quiet shy type who doesn’t seem to have a backbone.. (that annoyed me)
Akira is very determined and forceful in expressing himself, so I could see why she fell for him..
Her boyfriend was this, wishy washy type guy, and she didn’t really know where she stands with him..
So if any guy’s reading this, girls like men who know what they want.. MEN, not teenagers..
As a mother of a boy, I could relate to Akira’s mum very much.,
My fave character was Haraguchi, and the actress did an amazing job portraying her..
Overall, I don’t think I’d want to watch another similar type story, because in the real world, women like her end up in prison.. And I felt very annoyed and frustrated watching it.. Because the whole time, all I had in the back of my mind was “this is wrong”..
But the acting, scenery, music made it worthwhile!
