Sukaretto says:
p.s. spoilers ahead
     This has been one of the best drama I've seen this year. I'm not sure how much it's different than the manga, though, as I never attempted reading it first or after. Anyhoo, This is very satisfying, from start to finish. The cast (both young and old) are perfect. Kudos to the children because I think they've really done a great job, especially the kids who played Satoru and Kayo. Although I think the identity of the real killer is pretty predictable to those like us who haven't read the manga or watched the film (I've suspected that person from the very start haha), the build-up was good. Also the plot twist, that got me. So it you need a thriller, murder-mystery fix, this is highly recommended. Not too much drama, no cringy romance.
My Ratings: i'll give this 6/5 :)
