By putting female characters at the forefront and exploring non-traditional relationships, the film challenges conventional gender roles and moral norms. However, the film focuses mainly on a homogeneous Japanese urban setting, lacking in racial and ethnic diversity. Additionally, there is no representation of characters with disabilities.
