Really weird with questionable messages. Everything seemed to be within the tone of the work until weeks leading to the point the girl gives birth where a bunch of elementary schoolers all kumbayah and decide to help out (including boys in 90's japan who are somehow not misogynist or gross about the process of giving birth or raising children) I'm not sure why a young girl giving birth is seen as a good thing. "If you're pregnant then that means your body is meant to support a pregnancy" NO SHE ISN'T and this is coming from an adult, how the hell can you say that? Her pelvisis not wide enough to survive childbirth.

I'm also disappointed with the handling of the feminist character who had a mental breakdown and then got pregnant for no reason at the end.

The work seemed to set out to challenge the misogyny and oppressive gender roles of 90's Japan but because its childishness and idealism somehow seems to end up reinforcing them.
