"""Niji opens up the world for Kuroe, and because of him she also allows herself to engage with that world in a way she never would have been able to before. It's lovely to see and very relatable to daily interactions with any kind of pet, or the way that they can help us interact with the outside world, like how walking a dog makes people more comfortable or the weird ways our pets show us they care."" --Rebecca Silverman, Anime News Network"
