That's the best ending, isn't it?

In the summer of Japanese anime, there are always cicadas, summer festivals, kimonos, fireworks, and goldfish that can't stop. There are also forests in the depths of which there are monsters, foxes, and mountain gods. Japan believes in Shinto, and believes that all things in the earth have spirituality, and all things can be regarded as gods. Like the invisible bugs in the bug master, the dogs in Inuyasha, foxes and even moths can be very powerful monsters.
The plot of Firefly Forest is not new, it is a bridge between humans and monsters in love. But this youkai used to be a human, and when it should have ended its life, it was able to use magic to maintain its life by the mercy of the mountain god. But this fragile life makes it impossible for him to touch humans, otherwise it will disappear. His name is Kim, and he always wears the mask of a fox. The little girl who got lost in the forest is called Hotaru. The first time they walked back and forth in the forest,
"It was like a date"
"It's really a date without fun," said
a 6-year-old girl and a 17,8-year-old monster.
So Ying looked forward to summer every year, and could go to grandpa's house, so as to meet Jin in that forest again.
From the beginning, Ying would jump on Jin whenever she was happy, and gradually turned to be careful not to touch Jin.
From the beginning, Jin avoided decisively, and at the end, "then jump over, it's just what I want".
Firefly's expectation of each summer from the beginning has become "autumn, winter, spring, I always want to be together".
From the beginning, Jin's waiting every summer has become "I can't wait for summer. As long as I separate from Yingying, even if I want to get rid of the crowd, I will want to see you."
Another conversation about dating at that festival,
"It looks like a date"
"This is a date".
And that first and last hug.

Japan always produces this kind of healing stuff. It makes people feel that love is really beautiful, even with monsters, they all have handsome faces, and when they stop occasionally, they can still imagine the expression behind the mask, and the gray and white eyes that look like foxes just glance at them and feel tender. about to melt.

And in the end, I think they are already together. For ten years, Ying has all the good memories, the last hug can make her warm for a lifetime.
