Flam Mar 27 2021 12:24 am Dako is the best. I can understand bokuchan so annoyed at her because she is often like an ero-baba ?. He must be frustrated when he must acting like he fall in love to her, and when he marry her. Is this gonna end after 2 movies???? Aaawww!!! Can we have 3rd movie??? Or season 2?? We need to see how monako grow into!!

Jonah Kyle Jul 29 2018 6:55 pm Nagasawa's character Dako is the quintessential manic Japanese girl, manifested as an early middle-aged woman. Always fun to watch.

Ayano Jul 24 2018 1:47 pm Nagasawa's acting was superb.. i like her role where she was not holding back.. she is super versatile.. the show was very entertaining..xD

smilefam Jun 29 2018 9:43 am finally finished this. it's less intense than kurosagi and funnier. So entertaining to watch. Nagasawa is somehow annoying but yeah alright. suits her well
