The FL is a new transfer student. Everyone thinks she is arrogant and cold because she refuses to interact with any of her classmates. This doesn’t stop the ML from trying to get to know her. The way our ML looks at the FL on the first day of school when he sees that they are in the same class (homeroom) just melts my cold cynical heart. I love the ML’s character in this movie. He is like a ray of of sunshine, cotton candy, and all that is bright and happy wrapped together. When his attempts to befriend the FL keep failing, their homeroom teacher finally pulls him aside and tells him that after a week, the FL will not remember anyone she has met. He’s devastated, of course, but his positive personality refuses to give up. So, he devises a plan so she will remember him: trading a journal with her. I like that the movie is pragmatic in that it was not a quick, miraculous recovery for the FL, but that it took time and many heartaches for the ML before we have our happy ending. I really did want to reach out into the screen to give the ML a big hug when his heart was breaking because she could not remember him or their time together.
