I am a huge fan of Strobe edge. It was the first manga I read by Io Sakisaka and I loved it.

The story is very simple and cliché actually but I still like the manga that give off innocence such as the first love and everything that this entails but when I saw the cast I knew that it would not work and I was not wrong.

Arimura does not strike me as a good actress. She has seen her in other dramas and she always has the same face. She is not expressive at all and she was not a good choice to represent Ninako. She never conveyed the sweetness of the real Ninako to me. She just looked like a girl without expression.

And Sota ... I'm sorry but she doesn't seem like a good actor either. I love Ren and maybe that's why it was painful for me to see him play him because he didn't do a good job.

Neither of them had chemistry and they didn't convey anything to me.

I would really only recommend that you stick with the manga and that's it.
