Too Cool to Be Forgotten

I came in not knowing what to expect and came away all emotional. The ending was something I can relate to, the loss. I was surprised by how strongly it hit. The overall arc was about a middle-aged man visiting a hypnotherapist to quit his smoking habit. But it quickly becomes obvious that that's not the main plot. I found the simple art style to be pleasing and effective. It was easy to follow the dialogue and monologue the protagonist had, as he goes through his high school years again. It was quite “real”, not that I attended high school, but similar enough I guess. I felt I could've given it another star if there was a better connection between the surface quit-smoking problem and the real meaning between the “Too Cool to be Forgotten” character. It just felt like it suddenly jumped off on a tangent to me.
