Oboreru naifu

The way the scenes cut and dialogue went left me very confused. The director failed to show how the relationship between the main characters even develops at the beginning, you just kind of have to fool yourself that you understand what's going on and hope that it makes sense later. It doesn't really make sense even at the end. The dialogue is cheesy and I don't really get why the director made them chase each other frequently, I guess to portray some 'youthfulness' but it was just silly to be honest. There are also odd uses of close ups and far away shots that feel like they drag for a bit too long. I admit, it was quite refreshing at times but it did get boring after a while. The story gets unrealistic and was very frustrating to watch. However, I loved the acting, especially Nana Komatsu. If it wasn't for her performance, I would've even have finished it.
