EPISODE REVIEWS

Another emotional episode about a guy who loved his niece with his life—literally.I really like how, within a single episode, the anime makes us grow attached to a character only to have us say goodbye to them by the end of it. In my opinion, that happens when a story is well told. Even if the episodes don't always contribute to the main plot, they are still worth watching because every secondary character has a life full of emotions and memories.Still, once again, the end of this episode leaves us hooked with what's happening to Fumika's other half in the hospital. We're getting close to the end!

Episode 10 delivers a tear-jerking climax. Soft, evocative animation and a gentle, melancholic soundtrack highlight tender emotional bonds. Kanaka’s lively presence offers light, charming comedy, while rich character development leads to a bittersweet, heartwarming plot twist.

Despite delivering powerful emotional moments, Episode 10 feels a bit rushed in resolving several conflict details that had already grown overly complex.
