The story is kind of lame. The girl gets a letter from her future self with a list of things she regrets and she tries to do them differently. There is a lot you could do with that premise, but there could have been a little bit more creativity here. At its core it's a typical school romance, nothing you haven't seen before. Except for the main guy, the characters are a little bit uninteresting too because they lack depth and I didn't feel that much of a chemistry between him and the girl. The whole thing gets a little better in the second half though.

It's not bad and it does have its nice moments, but ultimately I would just call it "okay".

It's my first time writing a review here, it's currently 3 am and im crying my eyes out. I watched the anime series and anime movie before and i can say that the characters portrayed the role so well and the story didn't change at all which is great! I'm so glad i watched the live action even though it's painful. I liked Kento Yamazaki's acting here again and he looks really handsome! Also the one acting as Suwa, all of them are great! Pls watch this you would not regret it!!!

Although the script was good and the values of the story were awesome ( friendship, loyalty, love, family) the story was very slow and had many gaps. You will only enjoy this if you don't try to make sense of it, because it doesn't make sense, it's too fantastic and unrealistic.

Honestly, the movie had so many important and key parts missing. I've read the manga and even the anime has the same key parts compared to this live action movie. If you just want to watch a Japanese romance movie, don't care about the anime and actual story, then watch it. But the manga and anime was much better, more interesting with all the key events.

This movie is very well directed, although the script lacks clarity in some areas. The actors did their job very well.

It shows the importance of having good and honest friends.

Overall, It is a beautiful, heartwarming movie.
