The reason I wanted to watch this was because the premise seemed very interesting since it wasn't mainly about love. Up until episode 6, if you asked me I would have said it was really good and exceeded expectations, but after that it went downhill. This drama touches on some dark themes, I liked how they dealt with one of those themes, disability, but everything else was very mish mash and I feel they could have done way better. It was not satisfying in the end and it strayed off the path I wish it would have gone on until the end. I'd still say you should try and watch it if you're interested, but don't expect to be satisfied. Even though I like the friendship and acceptance parts in the first half, the messy second half erased the significance of them. Overall, an okay drama. It's short so regardless of whether you loved it or not in the end, you won't have wasted much time.
I originally wanted to watch this because it looked very pretty (I'm a sucker for beautiful summer cinematography) and because Fuma is in it (I like sexy zone). Other than the pretty imagery and good sound, it wasn't much. There were some touching moments yes, like with the girl who died in a bike crash, but the main story was boring and lacked substance so much that I could not care less about what happened to Mihane or Shouhei. One thing that really pisses me off was how Mihane dealt with Goro's confession, she really couldn't just say no. I'm not sure how faithful this series is to the original work but I am not a fan. Very bland. Glad it was only 5 episodes.
