Very typical shoujo love story between a boy and a girl, except Sara-chan, the protagonist, is trans. in my opinion, this doesn't save it from being fairly mediocre. But being transgender myself, I quite enjoyed relating to her daily struggles.

The treatment of the main character as a trans girl is quite refreshing. There are people that hate her, people that love her, but most important of all, she's proud of herself. shes an adorable character, and I appreciate how they kept her true to herself. I'm sick n tired of "traps" so the fact she isn't a trap is an immediate bonus.

So if you ... yourself are trans yourself, sick of traps. or just need an easy, cute shoujo, give it a go. its incredibly short, which while it makes the pacing pretty bad, means its 0 commitment. nothing special overall, def not perfect, but its interesting in the way it handles its representation of trans chars.

Story:

Well, there's not much I can say here, it's as simple as you can get! I may not understand due to lack of subtitles, but it's still a super quick, enjoyable experience! Some may say that I should rate the story low, since there really is none. But it really was never meant to have one! And for what it tries to do, it really nails it! It's like a little glimpse into this little guys life, and it's super sweet every time! There's something really heartwarming about this, seeing something so pure and innocent when we're surrounded by sadness and struggles of our daily ... lives. It's like a nice quick fix for your daily dose of happiness!

Art:

The art, while simplistic, is simple and sweet, just like it was meant to be! IT stays faithful to the original instagram drawings, and it doesn't need to do much more than that! One thing, there could be a bit more animation, it seems a bit bland and stiff, and i think that they should really try to utilize every second they have to the best of their ability. Not saying I need it to be full of motion and intense camera angles, far from it, but a little more movement would be nice! But it doesn't really take anything away from the cutest 30 seconds you'll ever spend!

Sound:

This is where I believe it's a bit lacking, but still to a very minimal degree. they seem to use the same song in each episode, which while not a big deal, it would be nice to have a bit of variety! Although the sound effects are perfect! they match up nicely with the music and give it a bit more life. The seiyuu also has such a relaxing voice! I could probably listen to it all day! One thing about the music though, it seems to be different volumes in different episodes, and i might be imagining it, but it does seem a bit inconsistent. Still, a very peaceful, calming tune!

Character:

This is another place it really shines! I can't say much on what the character is actually saying (again, subtitles) but based on his actions, I absolutely love him! He's so charmingly drawn, and again, his voice is lovely! But it's just such a wonderful thing to see such a positive and sweet character, bringing the world a little happiness! He seems so relatable as well, as I also love to help people, and he just seems like such a chill little dude! I'd love to be his friend!

Enjoyment/overall:

All I have to say, is that if you're having a bad day, or you just need a pick-me-up, watch a few of these! Personally a made a little "aww" noise when I saw this for the first time, and how could you blame me? It's so pure and kind-hearted, it's definitely worth 30 seconds of you're time! I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, I can't possibly see someone disliking this!
