I loved this movie. I watched it because I knew the main actress Maki Yoko by face and I follow Furukawa Yuki and Kamiki Ryunosuke. I knew about the movie when it was in production but quite honestly had no idea what it was even about when I pressed play. I was pleasantly surprised by the storyline and had such a good time watching it. It's similar to the Disney move Inside Out. Her inner emotions battle it out and decide what she's supposed to do next. I like how awkward and relatable her character is and how realistic the reactions are with someone who is as awkward as she is in romantic situations. I laughed a lot at this movie, I also had a lot of uncomfortable moments where I paused and didn't want to see what was going to happen next because I knew it was going to hurt. I didn't cry but I can say that when movies/ dramas make me pause a lot, it usually means I'm far too into the show and am emotionally invested. Would I re-watch this? of course! I watched this without subs as soon as it hit the internet so I plan to re-watch when it's subbed and maybe more times after that because I enjoyed it so much. The casting was perfect as far as I'm concerned. Furukawa Yuki was stunning as always with his mellow and somewhat uncaring character. Maki Yoko played the awkward turtle role very well. All the actors playing her inner thoughts or emotions had great chemistry. I voted music rather low because I don't really remember the tracks that well so I guess they didn't leave any sort of impression on me, but I do remember that the mood of the scenes was always accurate. Overall I recommend this movie to anybody who has ever experienced an awkward love confession or just being awkward around your crush.
