Tario Fukushu Daiko no Futari (2020)

Minami - not JUST cute

I started this for Hamabe Minami, on the strength of finding her cute and pretty. Happily, she proved to be a competent actor in this as well. The comic elements made me think it might have been adapted from a manga, but they never overpowered the stories.

I was also impressed with the final episode. Ms Hamabe showed she could really emote, and the scenes with her and the amnesiac geko even got my eyes a bit damp - well done! It was also a pleasure to watch Okada Masaki in a VERY different role from Okitegami Kyouko. I didn't even recognise him at first, which is a tribute to his disappearing into the role.

Ooverall, a short, light and satisfying tale of a quest for justive becoming a path to personal growth.
