A show full of promising young actors. Generally, the show had such a way with making you care for characters in under 20 minutes -- and mind you, these are characters you only see in a single episode. The mysteries were simple but fascinating. The relationships, I think, were the stars in this. With the short amount of time per episode, we see fleshed out characters who find meaningful connections with one another -- and not a lot of dramas are able to do that. While some dramas struggle to make you care for characters after 10 episodes, the writers for this drama do not have the same dilemma.

I also have the biggest soft spot for episodes 3 and 5 if only for how queer they were. There weren't any direct confessions of love or anything like that, but it was pretty evident -- from the framing and the tension -- that Terawaki/Itori and Kusama/Susukido are meant to be couples, at least in my opinion. Plus their stories were just very, very cute too. Basically, they took the Rocker Boy/Awkward Boy and Class Prez/Weird Girl dynamics and put them into tender little stories.

The main story was also very interesting and parts of the ending were quite unexpected, for me. And though what's to come for Katogi and Sappukei's relationship is up in the air, what we were given made me hopeful for them. Overall, a very solid miniseries.
