EPISODE REVIEWS
In this episode, I was already starting to wonder where Chiyuki was. We're halfway through the season, and it seemed like they'd forgotten about her. Fortunately, her role as a supporter and inspiration hasn't been lost. It seems like fashion has overshadowed modeling as a way to tell the story; perhaps it's a more visually appealing aspect in comparison. Let's hope we see more of the modeling industry in future episodes because we also need to delve deeper into Chiyuki's story if we truly want this to be a story about two people pursuing their dreams.
Now, it’s time for Ikuto to start designing at Geika~ New challenges await!! And omg Kokoro is such a cutie 🥰 It’s good to have another cast member who can’t follow her dreams (But in a different way from Chiyuki and Ikuto!) This episode is mostly build-up, but it’s still pretty fun and the emotions are uplifting!
I am loving the emotions featured in this episode. You can really feel the authenticity and it is as if you are carried away by the characters' feelings and a glimpse of real world aspects. It is felt not just through the flawless execution of their expressions, but also in the deeper lines they've delivered. Their profound storyline ultimately adds depth to each perspective, making it more genuine.
