"Your imagination can run free."
'140 Ji no Koi' is a miniseries presenting a simple story that unfolds by embedding charming concepts within the main plot. In each episode, we are absorbed into a scene derived from the imagination of Shuhei Tsubuya. His imagination runs free as he interprets Twitter novels composed of 140 characters, offering endless possibilities. He begins to conjure up such engaging stories, each with its unique charm.The interesting concepts have the potential to be explored in much more depth, which was what I'd initially hoped for, but since this series is short, I thought that the simplistic approach taken was very fitting after all. The scenes were flowing naturally, while the cinematography and tone complement the different emotions presented throughout, and the acting felt pleasant to watch as it amplified the character's charisma. Overall, it's a charming short watch that explores many intriguing concepts in the stories told, leaving me longing for more.
