This is sort of a beautifully-told story that almost cancels itself out by turning into a most heartbreakingly sad story that is hard to watch in the second season. I watched it to the end, because of its excellent story-telling, while hoping it would pull itself out of the bleakness into which it had ground itself, but ended up watching it with one eye painfully squinting when Shun began to fall apart. He tried so hard, but the characters of the Flowers family were so self-absorbed, he never had a chance with his adopted family. The story ended up being about Shun, and thus was a tragedy. Not sure how I feel.
