Girls Encounter (2017)

Gotta be honest, I decided to watch it after I saw Moeka Hoshi, who looks so freakin' kawaii on the trailer that I never watched till the end because as soon as I saw her, I thought, "Screw it, the girl is kawaii, let's just jump in."
This habit sometimes makes me watch a film that I don't intend to watch, but there's no regret. KAWAII GIRL FOR LIFE!!!

This film is about bullying and its effect on Miyuri's life, depression is definitely experienced by her, until her life feels at the lowest point, and then there is Tsumugi who grabs her hand, helping to lift Miyuri's mentality. At that point, I felt this film was very heartwarming and not a depressive film.

How precious it is when someone who is experiencing difficult times in their life reaches out their hand and someone grabs it to help lift them from the darkness and let them know that the world is not against them. It's really pleasing to see Miyuri, who initially resigned to her life, turn out to be ready to live because of friends.
Miyuri spent a lot of time with Tsumugi, and Tsumugi's presence made me interpret many things, whether she was just Miyuri's silkworm who became a human being, whether the one in the dream sequence is the real her, etc. but for me, she symbolizes depression itself.

And if only, you know... Tsumugi wanted to go to Okinawa with Miyuri, you know... if only...
