Comments: Not so much a film as a PSA, which is fine. I love the way Mio Imada talks with her eyes

But boy did I not get it

Kalanchoe is a flower. Kalanchoe means protection, which is why it's a charm. Sakura liked it (told Tsuki it looked good on her). It's the name of the movie fer crying out loud

So ... when Tsuki starts weeping and tales it off ... what did that mean? Too vague Sakura was absent. The teacher called Sakura's name so there was no knowledge she wouldn't be there (worst possible situation). Tsuki is a villain for failing her friend? Fuck that

Tsuki thought the scrunchy was bullshit? No way. I thought for sure she was going to go find Sakura and give it to her

Missed opportunity


Summary: After getting an impromptu lesson on LGBTQ+, a high school class grows suspicious that there is a queer student among them.
