For Audience

joy, visual impact (costume, set decoration), emotion (friendship, romance) The show, ultimately, is a weaker(弱者) story. Whether you’re watching the show and saying, like,”That’s me!”or you’re watching it going, “What’s up with these guys?”everyone can relate to being a weaker at some point. People like to help or support weakers, because everyone, in their lives, has felt like a weaker.

Thank you!
