Lovely story of a immature young adult who has closed herself off to people due to her life threatening illness. Her character grows as she finds that love and relationships with people are the most important in life. Mao from Hana Yori Dongo did a really great portrayal as the lead. I hardly recognized her from HYD. The two characters are so different. The relationship between Mio and her brother was sweet. I liked the romance she got to have with the doctor. She finally gets her first real kiss! I was unsure about the ending for a bit.
