A plain girl without makeup, Mitsuki's journey unfolds in a rather intimate drama that explores themes of self-discovery and desire. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing viewers to connect with her emotional evolution as she learns the art of makeup to impress her teacher. It’s not just about the physical transformation; the film captures her inner struggles and the subtle dynamics of student-teacher relationships. The performances lean towards the sincere, giving an almost nostalgic feel. The atmosphere is tinged with a mix of innocence and burgeoning sexuality, which might rub some the wrong way but adds a layer of complexity. The practical effects—especially in makeup scenes—are surprisingly engaging, making the transformation genuinely impactful.
A rare find for collectors, this film's limited releases have sparked interest, mainly due to its unconventional narrative and character development. The scarcity of physical formats has led to a community of collectors seeking out various editions. It’s worth noting that the film may not appeal to everyone, given its sensitive themes and portrayal of relationships, but that’s likely what makes it a subject of discussion among enthusiasts.
