I haven’t seen the original, but I know that the Japanese version has the genders reversed. It is a story about two people who have very different rhythms of life. Hajime is always one step ahead, while Reika is always one second behind. This alone will affect their destiny in this movie. The quirky and comedic setting is quite interesting, and the fantasy element is not too exaggerated, but it can be a bit confusing. The first half of the story is somewhat dull, but it becomes more enjoyable, engaging, and well-paced when the point of view switches to the female lead. As someone who hasn’t seen the original, I found this movie interesting and refreshing.
