    Very sincere. I also praise the director's simple, sharp and unified narrative style. The lead actress is amazing.

    I'm really fed up with this kind of sci-fi setting of youth romance. This is simply a silly story of a junior high school couple who accidentally got pregnant and ran away from home after tasting the forbidden fruit.
