I am kinda late with the review but here I go : ) The story may seem kind of rushed and at times kind of filled with scenes. But those scenes were not just for filling in the end, they were just made so it can break your heart into million pieces later ( kidding....notreally). What I mean is, we saw these two interacting and purely loving each other since they were young. They experienced true love and didn't just wait till the last moment. Like another review said the writer would give you hope then take it away and back to giving hope during the whole movie but that's why it wasn't boring and didn't actually make me guess the end ( at first I thought he'd die, then I thought he'd live and so on ). I liked the story! Didn't look like another basic romantic w some sickness story to me. As for the acting we didn't get to meet the supporting roles too much except for Kou. I loved it!!! The expressions spoke for themselves. As for Mayu I couldn't help but love her acting. When she was sad or when he would be in danger but didn't know if he'd make it. You can see her confusion, agony and sadness in her face. But I got to point out the little kid actors. They are truly a m a z i n g.. so fun watching the start and the flashbacks throughout the movie. I totally recommend this movie, but i suggest you keep a box of tissues if the melodrama gets you.
