Although I didn’t understand Wako’s romantic and sexual interest in Yumeaki, I enjoyed their interactions - the good, the bad, & the ugly - but particularly their shared love of cinema.

The relationship which spurred Wako to change was handled with a deft touch that neither approved nor disapproved and didn’t feel exploitative.

Initially, I found Wako unlikeable & dull, but I loved her evolution & growth as a person.

The ending was beautiful - the best happy end I’ve seen in a long time.
