      9/10
      A story and characters that Allows the audience for compassion
      An unusual plot with an emotionally driven story filled with intriguing and well developed characters. Though the portrayal of sexual minorities are stereotypical for the sake of story, it allows the audience for a conversation, and introspect on Mysogeny, poverty, lack of acceptance in Japanese Society. A reconsiderable performance from Kusanagi and Mizukawa. A promising performance from Hattori, and Uchida's surpricing direction.
