Based of a 3-volume manga(which has been officially published in English btw). I read the first volume at the start of the year and really liked it so I was pleasantly suprised that there was gonna be a live action.

It's a story of two traumatized people living in the margins of society who happen to find each other. Their relationship at the start is more on the toxic side but it grows into a very beautiful love story.

I really enjoyed watching this although some parts were hard to watch. The more traumatizing parts aren't done in an exploitative way. It's interesting how the story is partly set in a criminal world but it still has a slice-of-life vibe to it.
