I also love the short opening music and also the ending song (which I find quite anime-ish imo). It enters at the right moment to create a maximum impact. I find that the music blends in well with the overall ambience of the story. Mix in with loneliness, the story unwrap all these elements in such a twisted way. The physical contact also gives us a hint of the relationship dynamic and perhaps, underlying feeling towards one another.Īdolescence is an awkward and confusing phase of our life and it is also a phase where we begin to explore and try to understand ourselves and our sexuality. Some may perhaps be turned off by the many sexual insinuations shown in this drama but for me, it is the very element that adds nuances to each character’s development and understanding of their feelings, sexuality and self. There’s nothing comforting in seeing twisted lonely individuals eating each other out. They make up a pair who shares mutual loneliness and frustration of unrequited love.ĭon’t expect this drama to comfort you.
In a way, Mugi is a reflection of Hanabi. It is true that misery loves company and in Mugi, Hanabi finds a camaraderie that she longs for and a place to relinquish her pent up emotions.
Unrequited love that turns into an obsession slowly creeps like a dark cloud and eats into your soul leaving you empty, lonely, desolated. I see Hanabi as a caterpillar inside a cocoon – one that is yet to know that there is a vast world beyond the darkness of her cocoon – and the ending is where she finally spreads her fresh new wings and is ready to take her first flight in the open sky. Kuzu no Honkai choked me with its absurd start, leaving me gasping for air throughout the drama and left me with a sense of catharsis, so overwhelming that I didn't realise my tears begin to drop as the ending unfolds.
