Episode 6:
It was painful to watch this. And not because of the bullying, but because this episode finally showed how poorly portrayed the characters are. As if lack of believability in Kudo's love was not enough.
Sister and stepmother were not just cliched but plain stupid. Is not sister , then stepmother knew of politics around stuff, so showing their facesbto the victim and, essentially, asking Miyo to do what they say... In what world would that work?
Oh, right, in the world, where the victim would be stupid enough to not comply and then tell on the abusers the moment she sees Kudo.
Miyo's progression was also done poorly. It was too fast, compared to previous episodes, but that you can explain with stress. But the fact that flashbacks and inner monologue were shown *after* Miyo *strongly* resisted stripped the whole tension, that the moment could have.
Some may say I am nitpicking, but for me this episode was so bad, that I am dropping the show even though we are halfway through.
