I just want to prefix this by saying Shuhei is beautiful and the only reason I sat through this. So, here's the thing. Started out as a nice dark humor and the kind of bromance that is way more than brotherhood, honestly it seemed like just my kind of thing especially because one of the guys was a yakuza who runs over Shuhei and they end up developing a friendship. It was adorable and so was Shuhei's character.

And honestly when he says he's into the female driving instructor I was even on board with that. Because it felt like he was still trying to discover himself and when he realized he was immature and petty about her having a kid he will work on himself, that's his arc, like I said, it had that potential. And then Shuhei was having this bonding with the yakuza guy who was also with him in school, and the yakuza guy hates his job and wants to run away.

And Shuhei is rather obvious about not having any feelings for his actual gf and he breaks up with her and he comes from an abusive household and runs away to be with yakuza guy. And then there was a scene with the yakuza guy, where they show his real fantasy is to blow up the yakuza bosses and be with Shuhei's character.

So you think okay so what happens now! Like what deep, thoughtful message will they leave us with?

You know what 'message' they left us with?

You can love a man or a great nice girl who is divorced and has a kid, but when summer ends go back to your abusive parents and settle in with the younger virgin girl that you have no feelings for and who knows that you're using her but lets you do it because MADE UP RIDICULOUS SOCIETAL CONSTRAINTS THATS WHY. How progressive. How thoughtful. Freaking genius sir! Where's that standing ovation ffs lol ugh

I'm going to need something REALLY GOOD to get rid of the bad taste
