About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like heartfelt high-school romance with playful time-leap scenarios and ripple-effect tension, but Not for you if you want strict logic or consistently satisfying pacing; try A Silent Voice: The Movie or The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes instead.
Pros: inventive time loops; charming high-school tone; strong emotion | Cons: slow pacing at times; confusing explanations; weak foreshadowing
