Positive things first: Heartwarming story overall, a pretty deep psychological one. the lead male did a really good job. Negatives: Hard to get into took a good hour but then still dragged crazy. I forced myself to keep watching since it had such good reviews on here. For me it was really nothing special. I really disliked the lead actresses voice!! I guess this type of movie isnt for me. Normally i would end up crying but maybe it was the actress, or just the story was portrayed so slowly?? I couldn't feel properly for it. Not worth a rewatch. I hated how the lead couple's progression of love was SO slow. **Minor spoilers ahead**There were many times I got so annoyed at the lead actresses character because she should have just held onto him properly or hugged him! but instead she just shouts his name and keeps her distance.. lawll i wanted maybe i just wanted more skinship.. kekeke, Maybe I'd appreciate the story more if i read the manga.. or if they showed the thoughts going through the lead males head. the friendship is cute but overall the movie was just so so. Pretty boring to be honest but that's just my thoughts, I'd say give it ago, maybe it's just not my type of movie- bearing in mind this is probably my 2nd japanese movie(?) I really hoped it would be good so i would carry on watching more japanese dramas/movies, but it wasn't ;/
