“the first day of school, from that day on the world was gray.” awalnya aku kira film ini tentang seorang remaja bernama yuichi hasumi dan kesukaannya terhadap penyanyi lily chou chou. tapi ternyata film ini sangat gloomy dan depressing karena membahas remaja yang mengalami bullying, suicide, sexual assault bahkan prostitusi. walau secara visual film ini dreamy dan aesthetic. ”The wound that does not heal. The wound that may heal. The wound that should have healed. It grows wider, wider. What if the whole body, became one big wound?”
