There was another tweet that read, “Watched“#シビル・ウォー #アメリカ最後 の日”.
I didn’t know this until I watched it, sol was surprised to find out it was an A24 production, but once I watched it it all made sense!
This was pretty amazing! The way the two perspectives coexist and then are reversed due to a certain trigger is extremely shocking.
Up until that point the work itself is somewhat slow, and the parts before and after are like completely different works.”

A fan wrote, “One worrying event after another occurs, but there is a comforting feeling as if a parent is telling the child (through the story) that as long as they have faith in people, everything will be okay, that the world is not such a terrible place, and that one day they too will be tossed about by the rough waves of life, but that everything will be okay.

A user wrote, “The story is wonderful in that the switched brides each grasp various things and bring about changes in themselves and the women around them through small interactions. I would like to recommend this work to many people I also recommend the pamphlet that contains detailed information about the bride’s dowry and other circumstances (the binding is cute and the content is rich). This is a quick report without any spoilers.
