This was so beautiful and so inspiring! It has given me more courage and strenght to deal with my life and changed my perspective a little. Aya was such a beautiful soul. And the music was perfect, especially Konayuki, and there are so many beautiful, heartbreaking moments. The actors are so belivable and I really fell in love with everyone in the story. So many complex and amazing people. And I think it does a great job at portraying how illness can affect a life, much better than many hollywood movies. This just felt so real, and it's even more inspiring knowing that it's based on a true story. I think I'm going to read Aya's book next.
