Nigakute Amai is a light yet meaningful romantic comedy that explores self-acceptance, personal growth, and emotional healing through the evolving relationship between Mika, Nagisa, and their shared pasts. The film combines natural humor, heartfelt performances, and a tight, engaging narrative that keeps viewers invested throughout. Despite its charm and relatable themes, the film surprisingly holds a low IMDb rating, which feels undeserved. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com)
