Deepening Bonds Through Mutual Respect for Individuality
After the funeral of his parents, Asa (Ikoi Hayase) moves in with Makio (Aragaki Yui), whom she has almost never met before. Makio, who is not good at tidying up, lives in a messy house and withdraws to her room when she concentrates on writing, is an “adult not bound by roles” whom Asa has never come into contact with before, and the two begin to explore and live together.
Asa and Makio grow closer to each other when Daigo (Kaho), Makio’s friend since junior high school, comes over to their house to make dumplings with them, but in the film, Asa lashes out at Makio twice.
The first time is when they visit an apartment to sort out the belongings of a deceased family member. When Makio takes Asa in, he tells her that he truly dislikes her mother, Misato (Yuko Nakamura), as if half declaring that he wants her to like him.
The second time is when the existence of the diary that Jisato was going to give to Asa, which Makio had not been able to confide in her, is unintentionally revealed.
While Asa was honestly angry at Makio, Makio expressed his own thoughts, which were somewhat less than comforting, giving the impression that the two were somewhat at odds even for an argument. The two do not resolve anything through their discussion, and before long, the tension dissolves and they return to their normal routines.
Asa and Makio are different people and therefore have a falling out, but in the end, they do not change each other and are mysteriously able to start living together again.
