Synopsis:

A soul was temporarily given a second chance in life in the body of a 14-year-old who recently committed suicide. To be able to fully reincarnate, it must identify the boy's sin before committing suicide in a span of six months.

Review:

A beautiful film. It covers family issues that are rarely talked about. At first, I thought the boy was just being a whiny brat for being stupid enough to commit suicide. He has a mother who cooks for him everyday and a father who works his ass off just to support him financially plus a bro who is supportive in his road to artist journey. Well, you know what they say: No family is perfect.

***SPOILER: Turns out he was kinda traumatized when he saw his crush and his mom at a love hotel each with their respective fck buddies. He must've went batsht cray or clueless because he doesn't know how to deal or react in that kind of situation. I guess it would be a depressing, for any sane person out there.***

What really struck me the most was the sayings "People don't just have one shade, we have all sorts of different colors, and it's fine to have them" and "It's fine to be 'colorful' and to live colorfully."

The animation isn't really that eye-catching but I'd definitely give a 11/10 for its plot and concept.
