Shinko's heartfelt letter echoes through the Heian-era pine tree pulling ceremony, warming our hearts as the air buzzes with the intersection of life and death!
Giko's '20 colors' setting and Shinko's breezy dismissal of her earnest letter with a 'I don't really get it' are just so cute. The real-life Heian period pine tree pulling ceremony and quotes from The Tale of Genji blend in naturally, letting you enjoy the historical romance—a hallmark of Director Tezuka's work. The vastness of the starry sky and the lingering feeling of the ending are truly beautiful, drawing you naturally into the story's core where life and death, past and future intersect. Shinko's hopes and disappointments feel refreshingly real, making you empathize and want to return to this world. I'm already looking forward to rewatching Giko's running scenes and the starry sky moments in the next episode or reruns!
