Comment by Maaya Sakamoto playing the role of Kisaragi Mio

─ Please tell us the highlights of the work and the character you play.
At first, I thought "Mio is a mysterious girl! I thought. But as the story progressed and her past was revealed, I began to understand her more and more and came to like her more as I got a glimpse of her original purity and her strong belief that she did not want others to determine her value. In today's world, where it is becoming more and more difficult for everyone to live without worrying about what others think of them, there may be a surprisingly large number of people like Mio who struggle to express their emotions as well as she does. I think that some viewers may watch the movie while comparing their own clumsy side with Mio's.
