how another person can change self-perception

Overall: this is a grittier story, but there is still hope. The series was based on a manga which I have read part of, however I tried to review the series on its own merits. 8 episodes about 25 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4708/happy-of-the-end-2024

Content Warnings: almost every single content warning, it has very serious themes (episode 4 was pretty brutal, could skip to 21:30, also the first half of episode 6 was difficult for me to watch)

What I Liked
- a grittier story we rarely see
- flawed characters
- the cooking subverted trope
- acted like grown adults who went thru some terrible things
- caring moments
- that a character didn't believe what another character told him in ep 7

Room For Improvement
- not a fan of exposition dumps but I realized they were trying to cover a lot in not much screentime
- were there no brakes on the truck in episode 5?
- in episode 7 a character was pretty stupid to rile up another character
- seemed pretty nonsense that a character was walking free after there was video evidence, also I don't think victims need to press charges, I think law enforcement can proceed with charges themselves
- one character had not enough consequences (and the lame last minute attempt at trying to make that character sympathetic), and then another character had too many consequences
- I'm not a fan of episode 8 overall, it didn't seem to fit the characters
