I didn't have any expectations going into this which was nice but it surprised me. Like what the other reviews said it's slow-paced but personally not in a boring way. I think the story is simple but beautiful. The ending though not the happiest was nice and it defiantly eft room for part two which I will watch later. I wouldn't recommend this movie to people who like watching dramatic, fluffy and maybe smutty BL's. But if you want to watch a heartwarming story that to me seemed to depict a gay relationship in a real way then this is for you. The story is simple but well done and I loved the metaphor of the nattō. I also like to way it followed one person's perspective, as in when they didn't remember stuff we wouldn't see it, and we wouldn't see the stuff that they didn't. It again made the movie have a more realistic feel unlike others which jump around POVs (not that there is anything wrong with that) Yumi is one of the best characters in this, she knows just the right things to say and doesn't judge anyone based on their actions. I would recommend this to the LGBT+ community, because of the mature way it depicted a gay relationship. There are a couple of bits that I didn't like one being the reason Oat got engaged but no show is perfect! But overall I found this movie to be heartwarming and enjoyable
