Another binge watch worthy Japanese show.
Really liked the fantasy element of the story, and the performances of the four main leads. The whole story was handled in a nice, nuanced, mature way.
I didn't notice any "body-shaming," but a study into how our background and looks influence our characters.
One word of caution is on the suicide theme, which is sadly very common for Japanese movies. People who are sensitive to this, would be wise to exercise caution when watching.
If only people would yell less in many of the shows produced in East Asia. It's not as bad here as in some Korean dramas, but at times I did have to lower the volume!
