Overall Picture
This show was overall cute, emotionally draining, a little annoying at times and also very real. I enjoyed the concept, I admit at times it was "weird" but you kind of have to go with it . Sumire's character was a little annoying and sickening to me at times mainly because she didn't see her "pet" as a man and I am not sure if it had to do with the fact he was younger than her or the fact that she just wanted Hasumi. Hasumi basically looked perfect on paper, and (trust me this man was so sexy) but, she didn't feel calm or relaxed around him. She could never be herself so the relationship at many times looked one-sided. Momo who is actually Takeshi was in love with her but kept things that way for her sake, he was obviously a better match for her and like her emotional sacred place. Overall the series was nice, I enjoyed the side relationships, although Fukushima was a bit of a b*tchy character she actually liked Hasumi in the way he wished Sumire wouldn't. So they worked in my opinion. I liked the relationship dynamic between Momo and Sumire, the growth in both characters, the only things I didn't like was how long it took Sumire to come to terms with the fact that she didn't actually like Hasumi like that, and that she actually liked Momo and didn't realize it until he left. Also I would have liked to see more of Momo's backstory, in terms of his childhood and home life. The ending wrapped everything up nicely, I didn't feel like anything was missing. So I felt satisfied in the end, there will be times you watch this and want to throw a shoe at Sumire, but her character was very real in a sense, they're are people like that in real life, dealing with denial, low self-esteem and lack of confidence so I couldn't be to mad at her. If you can go through it I would recommend but the rewatch value I wouldn't rewatch it personally, I feel like I would be unraveling the story all over again.
