Everybody be shitting on this anime for its risky factors and practically criminal actions, but past that general, ‘normal’ reality of things, we also see the sad reality of the female MC.

I watched this in the POV that the main MC between the two MC’s is the female one, and the male MC is only supporting her - which was also his full role in the whole situation.

I watched this without expecting anything. Seconds into the trailer I was hooked. Upon starting episode 1, I was hooked. Until I ended the series, I am still hooked. I am quite shocked to really be able ... to resonate with Sayu on all the experiences she’s been through.

The plot is great! The whole ride gave me tears of joy and sadness that I have come to LOVE this whole show. I would love to see more OVA or movie or a 2nd season to this.

I definitely recommend watching this show if you are into mature themes a high school student shouldn’t be facing (ie a slap of reality at a young age) or if you can find yourself relating with either of the MC’s and move past prejudgments and zero in on the reality of their situation.

I rate this a 10/10, the beauty of this show’s blend of factors made its way to my favorites list <3.

P.S. Character rating is a 9 because I am annoyed of one of the supporting character’s personality (Yuzuha) but as a character she is fine, she showed the character/personality amazingly - I’m sure many can relate with her. I also understand her POVs and where she’s coming from, but she’s just not my cup of tea. Her character did not destroy the show or the relationships to other characters, but she’s just not my favorite.

No spoiler, honest review, first time review

This show went to 4 from immediate 10 to me. I’m glad I decided to watch this show from just the trailer. I did skim read some of the reviews, most of them gave a very low rating, while there were those who appreciated the show like I did.

There were a few funny parts, but this was a good enough show to keep me hanging and anxious to see what the next episode’s like. If you like mental health issues coming to life through emotional/physical/mental (imagination or hallucination) manifestations, then you’ll breeze through the whole show. Before I ... knew it I was at episode 11 already.

I really like the show and the portrayal of the whole plot. There were no plot holes, everything was glued together by the end. How things ended was satisfactory for me too. It had a play on facts that makes sense when put into fiction. I believe 12 episodes is enough for this show too.

This show is a 10/10 masterpiece for me. I’m accepting and appreciating it as it is. Not much comparison, not much critic. But I wouldn’t rewatch this any time soon. This is more of a one time play through show.

I can’t see this negatively because I’m truly interested in the whole thing. This premise is really difficult to pull off, I doubt there’s anything else like Mayoiga (in about the same premise, I mean) that was pulled off well.

P.S.: I am constantly on the lookout for shows that portray characters who struggle to survive some type of trauma from bad environment. This was surprisingly one of those shows.
