I feel kinda weird about this. I have no idea if this has some other souce material (I read here that's a book or a compilation of short stories) and because it's so short we don't really get that much character development. The story is about Hashimoto Jun, a writer that lives in Tokyo and his editor is asking him to write a love story, since it's been two years and he haven't been able to complete and publish anything. Suddenly Murata Keisuke, Jun's childhood friend arrives at his house. Jun haven't seen him in 15 years, but he is nice and cool, cooks for him and encourages to write the love story.
The story at the beginning has a big comedic touch into it but then it gets really dark and sad. The performances and good and the music and technical aspects are ok. I don't think it should have been longer but I think it could have been handled better with the emotional punch. maybe two episodes more. Overall, I liked it and it broke my heart.
