![]() ![]() ![]() There’s definitely overlap with purity culture from religions enough so that there’s a few overlapping themes of Shiho seen as a sort of Christ-like figure that can deliver each of them from sin. It seems like the entire show is filled with maladjusted adults who can’t handle real life and who see this worship of innocence and childhood as something sacred that can “save them” from reality. It reflects how throughout the entire story all these various characters feel “dirty” and see Shiho’s child-like innocence as a way to “purify” themselves of the filth of the adult world. Other creepy dialogue involves him feeling like he can go on with life while having Shiho’s Missing Person’s picture in his pocket or when Satou throws a sock from Shiho on his nose (one of the two creepy things Satou herself does) to suddenly make Taiyou obsessed with being near Shiho again in order to manipulate Taiyou into getting Asahi away from finding Shiho. The creepiest character in the story to me was Mitsuboshi Taiyou, whose internal monologues when he first meets Shiho are just the creepiest and might trigger people since he’s thinking to himself how much he wants Shiho’s body to “purify” him by touching him because he feels “dirty” from being repeatedly raped by his employer, an older woman. There’re only ever two creepy things that Matsuzaka Satou, the main female lead, does herself. I watched it legally on Amazon Prime (props to Amazon for supporting people’s Freedom of Expression to watch this content), and I was pleasantly surprised that the controversial subject matter was more implied than shown. Writing a review for this story was and still feels distinctly uncomfortable though. I was wary of making a review for this, because of the main topic that this show delves into, but it is fiction and watching content that delves into these controversial topics isn’t condoning support for them. This will contain major spoilers for this anime. ![]()
