Plot Summary

Suzuki's a high school girl in love, but the guy she's fallen for is nothing like her! While she's cheerful, outgoing, and always trying to fit in, her classmate Yusuke Tani is stoic, quiet, and doesn't seem to care what people think of him. Will Suzuki be able to overcome her anxieties and ask him out, or will she discover that opposites really don't attract?

What Works

  • Exceptional execution of animation, comedy tropes
  • Stunning cinematography and production design that demands a large screen
  • A compelling lead performance that anchors the entire narrative

What Doesn't

  • A few minor subplots feel slightly underdeveloped
  • May feel overly familiar to long-time fans of the genre
