One year ago
Female Student C: So~! I went to the movies yesterday, it was super interesting!
Female Student D: You mean the one you said you wanted to watch last time?
Female Student C: That's the one! Even though it was your typical fantasy, I cried so hard~......
Female Student D: Ahaha, you really love stuff like that dont you~.
Mito: (Ah, they're talking about movies. Thats nice...... Its the same movie that Mito watched the other day.)
Mito: (We're almost 1 month into the school year...... Even though Mito's in high school now, she still hasn't made any friends that she can speak to.......
Mito: (Another year of being a loner, huh)
Mito: Haaaa....
Mito: Ahh!!
Female Student C: Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't realise you were behind me!
Mito: Ah, that's OK!
Female Student C: A-are you OK?
Mito: I'm f-f-f-fine!
Mito: (I got so nervous, I started stammering......)
Mito: (Don't think about that! Times like this, I should watch something......! Even though my phone screen is small, I can still watch and focus)
Mito: Uhh, Where was I up to on this series--
Mito: Here it is. It's an anime film, but it's interesting and it's gotten some good reviews too.
Iroha: ......
Mito: .............
Iroha: Ahhh!
Iroha: Waaah! Waaaah!
Mito: Waaaaaaah!?
Iroha: Ka-Karyu! That's Karyu, isn't it!?
Mito: W-w-what!?
Mito: Uh, Karyu....?
Iroha: The movie you're watching right now, it's "Magical Girl Karyu: the Movie" right!?
Mito: Ahh.... Y-yes it is, but.....
Iroha: I knew it! That makes us comrades!
Mito: Comrades......?
Iroha: I also love "Magical Girl Karyu".
Mito: U-um, I'm only watching this for the first time. I don't really know much about it.......
Iroha: Ehhhh!??
Mito: I'm so sorry....!
Iroha: Is that so, I'm sorry blurting out like that! I wasn't expecting a newcomer to start with the movie......
Mito: Don't worry about it...... It's fine......
Mito: Senju-san, right? It sounds like you really like this series.
Iroha: That's exactly right! I watch it everytime it airs on TV. I even check out all the spinoffs related to it!
Iroha: The reviews for the movie has been getting good reviews, the art, the dialogue, the voice acting, the acting, it's all such high quality.
Mito; I see......
Iroha: For even Shiromaru-san who doesn't really watch anime to take an interest in "Karyu"..... The movie has really blown up hasn't it?
Mito: Yeah. That's true, I thought the movie was very good.
Mito: The camera work of the slice of life parts and the fight scenes was really well handled, the pacing was steady, not to mention the performance and story was extremely moving.
Mito: The action was fast paced, the animation was consistent and the sakuga was extremely beautiful. The seiyuu acting was really good. It really seemed like the characters came alive.
Mito: During the scene where Karyu's friend, Maria Marion faced off against her enemy, I really felt her courage there.
Iroha: ........!
Iroha: Hnnnnnnnng, Shiromaru-san!
Mito: Huuh, yes!?
Iroha: If you'd like, I can lend you the disk for the TV series so you can watch the entire series!?
Mito: Huh? Ehhhhh!?
Mito: Is that alright?
Iroha: You see, I've never had anyone that I can talk about this stuff to!
Iroha: I have a bad habit of getting way too into talking about the things that I like......
Iroha: Shiromaru-san, it seems like you can keep up with all the back and forth in this discussion!
Mito: Mito can....?
Iroha: Yep. So.....
Iroha: Once again, would like to hang out with me?
