I have to admit, after my initial doubts, Miracle in Cell No. 7 had me laughing one minute and embarrassed-crying the next. You know what kind of embarrassed-crying~ the one that has your tears sliding on the side of your face, and to avoid anyone watching you, your sleeve cleverly touches your eyes which have begun to swell. The next moment, it was a chuckle drowned in the sniffing and suddenly you’re clapping once again. It’s an odd experience for sure, but an incredibly satisfying at that. It might get corny at times, but it’s nearly impossible to not fall for the charismatic Kal So-Won — I see Mana-chan has SOME competition or maybe Kal will fill the void of child acting as Ashida grows up.
