During the discussion after the October 22 screening at the Uplink movie theater in Shibuya, one teacher in attendance commented, “I’ve come into contact with all sorts of hafu students during my teaching career, and I’d really like to help kids that are suffering from bullying, like Alex in the film. I want to think more seriously about what I can do to help.” Other comments from audience members included a hafu of Japanese-German descent, who said, “Being a hafu has been no big deal to me, and watching this film makes me realize what a great environment I’ve grown up in.”
