Ninako Kinoshita has never been in love until an encounter with the school's most popular boy, Ren Ichinose, leads the two to befriending each other.

most of what i watch/read is romance and i have a special affection for shoujo/josei but when shoujo is tackled like how it is in strobe edge it feels pretty shallow and cheap to me. it didnt even have any loveable side characters we can root for which is probably my favorite part of shoujo, their lovely side character cast saving the narrative for when you find the mcs irritating.
storywise i love tangled romances but when the character exploration is flimsy like this instead of enjoying the complexities of the romance, you just get annoyed. along with that, most of the cinematic choices just does not make any sense, especially in the sound department. during the train/bubbles scene, there is a girl band on the stage. instead of making them play any song that will fit with ninoka's desperation and ren's hopelessness, they just put some fucking youtube royalty free song over it. literally why
one scene i want to point out: i gasped so hard at her crying while staring at ren through his workplace window while he's working and continuing to look at him when he noticed her???? ninoka you crazy bum ass bitch oh my god?????
lovely poster, not much else
