I had such a fun time with this story. The vibes are Studio Ghibli (mentioned by one of the characters as their favorite director, obviously) meets CW drama (iykyk). Things are constantly happening and yet each scene gets enough time to develop within itself. I enjoyed that Kei falls into the role of the lost character searching for meaning, while Hana has a role and purpose (even when she's a little misguided).
