Not a very detailed review but there will be some spoilers.
I mostly agree with the other reviews who gave 3 stars out of 5. Good story build up but flawed character developmeny and ending. I, personally, felt uncomfortable at Muge's fantasies and behavior towards her crush but their teenagers so I guess that can't be helped. Still, a bit unhealthy. I didn't like that they fell in love in the end, I could've felt more comfortable if they became friends or what. There is significant moral development that each main character are struggling to achieve and to rely on "love" for it to happen would be just sloppy, artificial and Disney-like. If I were Hinode, I don't think I'd fall in love with Muge... I would largely appreciate her though and maybe be her best friend. If I were Muge, I would wake up from my stupid obsession for Hinode and realize that there is so much more to live in life and love my friends (i.e. Yori chan) and my family. It's so annoying that she's only considering her life to be worthy if Hinode would just love her. How desperate is that? Open-ending conflicts are still there such as the fight between mom and stepmom, and what was that with the Hinode's sister and her engaged boyfriend? Like why throw that out in the end without prior context? Confusing.
I have cats myself so I want to visit cat island if there was such thing. I love cats and that's the reason I watched this. I wish my cats love me just like how Kinako loves her owner.
