If you are a fan of the Anime, then you will most probably like this movie; but if you have never heard of the anime before, then you may find it a bit boring and slow, and not quite understand everything that happens, as they don't explain much. This captured the same innocence and cuteness as the anime had, which is what made it so special to me. Miura Hamura captured Shouta's character perfectly, and I'm pretty sure he perfected the smile. I fell in love with his character all over again in this movie, I just wish they would of done a live action drama instead of just a movie since they left so much out! I also felt that they left out a majority of the comedy that the anime had as well and it would of been a nice touch for the movie. I would recommend watching the anime first before seeing this or you might not enjoy it as much, but who knows, that's just what I thought while watching it. If you're just looking for a cute innocent love mixed with great friendships then this would be a great movie to watch.
