I love this story so much, it's very lighthearted and cute but then it hits you with dark, emotional themes.
Overall I think the concept and the story are well crafted, and it makes you root for the main characters and their situations.

My main critique would be that Naho is not very proactive, and she lets her  overthinking get the best of her, some of the times I was like "girl, get a grip, hold his hand" but then again, would I be able to deal with knowing the future of a friend and trying my best to change it?


Also, I love that Suwa was not letting his feeling for Naho get in the way of her getting together with Kakeru. I felt like that was very mature of him and I love him with all my heart 💖
