Review of Sing "Yesterday" for Me

Yesterday wo Utatte isn't a piece of media that everyone can apreciate since this isn't a story about romance or such but it is one about flawed people pulling themself out of their own mistakes and moving on. And I would highly recommend you to watch the Ex episodes after you finisehd the show since they will give you a clearer look of the show. LIGHT SPOILER AHEAD!!! The relationship between Rikuo, Shinoko and Haru is very toxic where she never comiited in their relationship but keep giving Rikuo the right amount of attention to keep him on the edge and only turn to him when shefeel convenient. Haru, on the others hand, love Rikuo blindly without a reason other than it is love. However through this relationship we saw Rikuo slowly moving out of his comfort zone and finally make up his mind and do the right thing. He knew he like Haru but he kept denying it cause Haru represent everything he fear which is changes and freedom. Not until the last episode did he realized that everything he has done was just out of his fear of getting hurt and broke up with Shinoko and seek for Haru and propose. After that, he finally move on to better things to a future that may hurt him tremendously but it's a future where he chose.

If you ever felt like you can't move on or stuck then this is the show for you. I was related to Rikuo so much since I, myself, also clinged and can't let thing go and seeing Rikuo went through the whole process of making mistake and fixing it really touch the deep corner in my heart. The characters aren't perfect and their relationship is toxic as hell but sometimes that is just the case IRL and you don't get what you want all the time but only through those hurtful moment did you grow up and complete yourself.
