Shows how complicated young love can make friendships, even creating awkward moments and misunderstandings. The emphasis on the rain scene, with the soft visuals and dramatic music, gives a beautiful feeling of melancholy. Touko trying to understand her feelings towards Kakeru, and Sachi and Hiro seemingly trying to explore theirs, helps the audience to understand the characters as individuals. The situation between Yanagi, Yukinari and Touko creates an overarching feeling of loneliness beneath the surface of a wholesome anime.
