Overview:
Having grown with each passing day, Yuu’s breathing has improved until she hears that Atori is going to study abroad in Chicago.
Our Take:
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t expect a conclusive ending or anything, but I did expect a little more. It felt like we were going to get something when Yuu heard that Atori was leaving to study abroad. Maybe it’s because the English dub makes it easier to tell the difference between “Chicago” and “Shigaki,” which is short for Ishigaki, an island in Okinawa. As it turns out, she’s not leaving to study in America, but is going on a short vacation instead.
There wasn’t an overarching plot, but given the show’s name and premise, I was left feeling disappointed. Not only has Yuu not done anything “bad” since the first few episodes, but it never felt like Atori was bothered at all by any of the bad things. There was a character disconnect for most of the show, in my opinion, and I imagine I’ll go more in-depth with my season review. But to give you a sneak peek, it’s not going to be a glowing review. This show felt like it wasted my time, and this episode didn’t make me feel any different.
