    A Must Watch Young Love Story

    This is like the representative of being young and dumbly in love. There is the kind of feeling in which they are deeply love each other but just aren't meant to be together. The movie will be pretty confusing, but you need to remember that the characters are teenagers. Aren't we going round and round and running a little bit from the one that we like?

    sometimes you need to lay off the imagery

    The way the scenes cut and dialogue went left me very confused. The director failed to show how the relationship between the main characters even develops at the beginning, you just kind of have to fool yourself that you understand what's going on and hope that it makes sense later. It doesn't really make sense even at the end. The dialogue is cheesy and I don't really get why the director made them chase each other frequently, I guess to portray some 'youthfulness' but it was just silly to be honest. There are also odd uses of close ups and far away shots that feel like they drag for a bit too long. I admit, it was quite refreshing at times but it did get boring after a while. The story gets unrealistic and was very frustrating to watch. However, I loved the acting, especially Nana Komatsu. If it wasn't for her performance, I would've even have finished it.

    I don't know what to say

    Actually, I watched this movie for Nana and was expecting something romantic and a light movie but it was not. I have neck read the manga it was adapted from. This is not my kind of movie as I didn't know what was going on in the movie but I must say all the actors acted very well. It depends on our choice, so some may love it and some may hate it. But it was not my kind of movie and therefore, I rated 5 for Nana.

    Way too over the top

    It starts out like a cute, wholesome little romance story with nice cinematography and scenery. The attraction between the girl and the guy are portrayed in this sweet, almost poetic dance of him drawing her in, then pushing her away, him teasing her and running away, making her chase after him. But then the drama becomes too unrealistic and just goes way over the top towards almost absurd territory.

    In short, I enjoyed the first part but then it kind of fell apart a bit.

    young and beautiful

    I had searched for this movie and then decided to watch it just for Masaki Suda and killing time.To be honest ,I did not have so much expectations of it but that I have been watching it changed my mind and caught me by BIG surprise.This is a romance movie where distinguishes itself from others are its full-blown and artistic narrative structure, most appropriate actors selected,young and most beautiful love story.I really love this movie!
