i'd say it's a pretty good movie
right off the bat, there's really no romantic relationship between them
it's pretty cute actually she had a crush on him, because he was nice to her while she was at her lowest, okay. [its part of his work though in the hospitality industry] and then decided to work there. I'm just wondering why in these type of story it's so easy for the girls to confess, I wonder if it's real for Japanese high schoolers.
the movie is WHOLESOME and has some life advice too. it's kind of exaggerated sometimes, it's probably because its especially hard to act it out, since its from an adaptation of anime(I'm not sure)
the themes it tackled are: having a crush, age gap, dreams(runner & novelist), and friendship.
yo at the end, the girl still doesn't quit.
TOTALLY RECOMMENDED for a chill watch, I give it a 7/10
