Plastic Memories 10: Isla's Confession

 Kazuki suddenly becomes the protagonist for 1 episode

Episode 10 serves as a major turning in point in Tsukasa and Isla's relationship and how the rest of the series would pan out, and I'm really curious as to what lies ahead. So let's start with a short summary shall we?

In the previous episode, Kazuki ends up having to dissolve Isla and Tsukasa's partnership.
The viewer would first feel shock of course: Isla only has 1 month left! If she doesn't spend that one month with Tsukasa, they won't have a happy ending!---so they resent Kazuki at first, but the episode later reveals that Kazuki only did it out of concern for both Isla and Tsukasa. In fact, Kazuki plans to "knock some sense into her"; only showing that Kazuki has no objections to Tsukasa's romantic feelings toward Isla and she maybe even supports him.

This episode shows more about Kazuki's perspective. She later reveals that she regrets dissolving her partnership with Isla three years ago. She tells Isla that pulling away from Tsukasa would only cause him more grief as Tsukasa will only have sad, painful memories of her. This makes Isla reflect on how she truly feels about pulling away from Tsukasa. She realizes that she wants to be with him until the end. She confesses to him the next morning at the office and everyone feels happy for them.

Episode 10 finally closes off the issue of "pulling away would be the best for both of us" arc and opens the final arc: the memory-making phase. Since they only have one month left I think the remaining episodes would be focused on memories Isla and Tsukasa would form, escalating up to a peak of happiness so that when the final episode comes and Isla has to go, the viewers would be devastated. But the ending has to be more than that right? There has to be a final conflict to intrigue the viewers, something along the lines of "Tsukasa desperately needs to find a way to save Isla" or "Isla and Tsukasa wants to run away together" type, so I'm going to wait for the directors to surprise me. Overall I think Plastic Memories has been a fun ride: it isn't really particularly good, as it lacks the twists and turns of other romance series but let's not get ahead of ourselves just in case. I would've loved to see more Michiru x Tsukasa moments but that was impossible right from the start because Tsukasa did say he "fell in love at first sight" with Isla right off the bat. Anyways, I'm looking forward as to what episode 11 would bring us. So~
