EPISODE REVIEWS

Okay! I'm at a loss. Is this connected to any of the episodes at all, or is it just a stand-alone? Things start getting complicated in this episode. Mion's voice actor is great at conveying emotions in this episode, we can feel Mion's frustration.

The chapters are separated into different timelines. This one accounts for the relationship between the twins. The emotional roller coaster is in full swing in this episode. It feels so nice to see the director using an impactful narrative to pick out these things.

This episode puts more focus on the sibling MCs and their story. The pacing is really good not too fast and always stays on point with what's going on. The mood changes happen pretty quickly too but it's done well so you don't get confused at all
