Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: It's pleasant that Tsuyu's boss is such a reasonable person, letting people work from the branch office whenever they're the wrong color to attract tourists.
Con: There's no plot. Tsuyu isn't trying to accomplish anything other than date Ai. She's the one driving all the action, and he benefits because she makes a mistake--not due to any action of his own.
The entire situation is rather confusing. Was it a mutation that changed people's body colors? Or technology? Why would you need to steal color from people to give it to others?
