This would've been much higher on my priority list if I'd made myself aware that Seiji Kishi was directing. I loved his work on Sunred, and despite coming from a different source, I can see the similarities between that show and this one. Both are domestic stories with a cast full of archetypes, yet populated by weird people (fairies/the cast of a Sentai series) - it's something he works well with.
I want to call the heroine Mai, but that's uncreative. And I don't even know if their city is in (what was) Japan. If it is, then I suspect So Ra no Wo To is happening several thousand miles away offscreen.
