When I watched it the first time I cried the last 10 minutes because it was reaching its ending and I hadn't had enough of this beautiful relationship. It's "a slow, serious love" - like the author says, and I couldn't be happier about it. This is not necessarily for teen girls or gay males, it portrays a pure love, even though it has boys' point of view, you could change either character for a female and the feeling would still be the same. I love everything about this, except for how short it is, but I just finished all the manga related to the story in 3 days because I couldn't live without more. Perhaps I'm raising the expectations too high, but this deserves my first review since I can't stop thinking about it and had to say something. I hope you like it as much as I did, and watch it as many times as I have. I know the author won't read this, but I want to thank her anyways for bringing all of this joy to my life. <3

This gave me lots of heartwarming emotions. They started felling in love unreasonably, but that's what love is. Along the movie, it gradually let's see their love development through the passing seasons. Althrough they had some conflicts, they are normal conflict that any couple could ever has.

Even through I wasn't in to it for a few of times since their personalities were like me with my boyfriend that I wasn't in to, like one was very in love and not preparing for his future, and another one is a diligent guy thinking about his future, I feel they really like each other, and I think they can improve themselves together.

Characters that exist beyond their relationship and don't need desperately to get laid nor someone to complete themselves, very interesting design and transitions between chapters, with well placed metaphors. These are, for me, the great technical features of the anime - even though the story isn't that unique, it doesn't make the experience of watching it any worse.

You know how a movie can soften the audience on a certain sensitive topic? Well look no further! This is the best anime to soften the hearts of the audience in regard to homosexuality.What I love and adore about it is that it shows the common relationship struggles that we all face but in the life of homosexual's couple. Homosexuality is perfectly normalized. This is how I wish the real world would be in the future. To be honest, the art style did not intrigue me at all at first; however, the storyline portrayed in the trailer won me over! The story is just pure and lovely. There is no big coming out gesture or a huge drama regarding sexuality.

It's a short, 1 hour experience that takes you through two boys' relationship over a year or two. It's really sweet, the characters are simple but relatable and It's really satisfying to watch.

For being only an hour, It got it's point across. It's a sweet, simple slice of life. I think the writers really did a great job with this one.

The art style is also something very different from what we normally see nowadays. It's simpler and fits the tone.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
