English Dub Review: Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki “You’re sure to find what you want on the other side of the magic door”

Overview

The class play goes off without a hitch but with a surprise twist. Afterward, Tomozaki seeks out Kikuchi for a conversation about their relationship…


Our Take

The culmination of the play was a highlight, offering a satisfying payoff for the characters’ efforts. It was refreshing to witness a substantial portion of the performance, adding depth to the narrative. Particularly impactful was Hinami’s poignant line about having everything yet feeling empty, which resonated even in the silence that followed. However, Tomozaki’s reaction to the unexpected final scene, portraying Hinami and Mizusawa’s characters getting married, added an unexpected twist, initially stirring unpleasant emotions.

In a pivotal moment, Mimimi’s support for Tomozaki despite her feelings added depth to her character, evoking both respect and sadness from the audience. Tomozaki’s subsequent conversation with Kikuchi provided a thought-provoking discussion, hinting at potential outcomes for his romantic pursuit. Ultimately, Tomozaki’s decision to pursue a relationship with Fuuka, while bittersweet due to Mimimi’s unrequited affection, felt like a fitting conclusion to his journey.

Overall, while Fuuka and Tomozaki’s relationship takes center stage, the unresolved elements hint at potential directions for future seasons, leaving viewers curious about what lies ahead for the characters with certain plot threads unresolved, such as Aoi’s past which was hinted at in previous episodes. The possibility of a third season offers potential for further exploration and development, leaving audiences curious about the direction the story may take in the future, but hopefully, we’ll get those answers if Season 3 becomes a thing…
