This is my first review.
Okay, this story stars Mikio a shy boy, who likes Haruko, a girl who is about to move. Mikio must tell Haruko that he likes her, before she leaves for good. Will he make it in time?
Overall Story: 8/10 Had some very interesting parts and kept you wondering what was going to happen next

Spoiling entire short film

Was this a waste of 30 minutes? Yeah, maybe. Was it a completely unhinged plot making it somewhat worth my time? Absolutely.

The premise is a shy fifth grader named Mikio has a crush on a girl named Haruko. Haruko recognizes something mysterious in Mikio who is too nervous to take advantage of this opportunity to connect with his crush instead pushing her away. Haruko is moving away soon so Mikio needs to confess soon. However, Haruko wants him to do it in front of an audience so he needs to muster up some courage. So why do ghosts need to be involved? ...
