EPISODE REVIEWS

Iana y Konoha son invitadas a un baile real. Hay momentos graciosos y más serios. Es interesante ver cómo cambia la historia junto con la protagonista, pero aún me cuesta tomarla en serio.

What makes this story comical is having Iana's face her younger self's embarrassing past preferences like a punishment for her fantasy. Her adoration for Konoha, the character, is lowkey a projection of her admiring what she considers the ideal woman. That her deprecating joke can both be source of comedy and internal conflict. The romance is cliche but if you're a lover of romcom, then you'll love this little bit of cliche.

The plot that Iana wrote in "The Dark History" during the first half of the episode was so funny because she had to deal with the consequences of what she wrote when she was in middle school. Watching Konoha Satou deal with the consequences of her own writing made many of the scenes incredibly entertaining. Her younger self's chaotic imagination and cringey ideas felt exactly like something a teenager would come up with lol. I also really enjoyed the second half of the episode purely because of how beautiful both Iana and Konoha looked during those scenes.
