Most Important: The Motive of Redemption
Girls and boys have a similar family environment. At the beginning of the film, girls worship boys and regard boys as spiritual leaders. This is because boys inspire girls, so that girls can cheer up in such a family environment. The existence of the boy inspired the girl, which became the motivation of the girl to redeem the boy later. So the film is not a process of a girl unilaterally redeeming a boy. On the one hand, the girl and the boy seem to be two sides of the same body, and on the other hand, the girl is the strength that always supports the boy.
Showing solidarity with boys in school is not just a sign of support, but also because you understand the true meaning of his words. The boy's rough treatment didn't hold the girl back, and the girl communicated with the boy through a special slapping game (? Rocking should have an allusion, not sure).
In the process of redemption, the girl also completed the transformation from girl to girl, her clothing changed from school uniform to white clothes, and finally to a red skirt.
When girls say that boys are sick, it means that when Japanese society is sick, it depends on our generation to work together.
