                        Very heartwarming

                        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.

                        One of the Best Shounen Ai

                        This is one of the best Shounen Ai movie I have ever watched (and probably my first ever review on IMDb). I am a Living Fujoshi and I have watched/Read many ShounenAi/BL/YAOI Anime and Manga. But this one stands out the most. This is a story of how two high school boys innocently fall in love with each other. The movie covers only the first volume of the series, but it is enough to appease my fujoshi heart (left 3 chapters that are irrelevant, anyway). This Movie got me grinning from ear to ear the whole time. I encourage you to read the manga as well. There is Part/Volume 1 up to Chapter 9 and Part/Volume 2 up to chapter 12.

                        Disappointing

                        This was so disappointing for me. I was so excited to finally see this movie and it was kind of dull. The start was very cute but the whole thing feels like vignette loosely put together. I would have preferred more of a build up to their feelings. I didn't even understand why they liked each other at the start, it just seemed like "oh we have sang together 3 times, let's date because I love you with all my heart marry me". It was very sudden.

                        I think if we spent more time seeing why Kusakebe was so infatuated with Sajo. I wanted to feel why they fell for each other and why they meant so much to each other.

                        Sometimes I think because we are starved of this type of content we will forgive flaws but I just see so much story here that we never got.

                        I am in love

                        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

                        A precious experience

                        I was so hesitant at first to watch this, since I didn't like the style of animation and I'm getting tired of high school romances. Besides, I'm pretty new to the BL genre and I'm still nor really sure if that's my thing. After the first 10 minutes, i considered to stop watching it since the plot seemed over exaggerated and rushed. Well, I'm so glad I stuck with it because in the following 50 minutes it completely redeemed itself. This anime does a truly wonderful job in showing the difficulties such a young romance may face, and in particular gives us insight into the characters inner thoughts and worries. Every decision they take seems completely reasonable, as such the conflicts that arise are realistic and justifiable. Even though this story only has 60 minutes to draw you in, I've seldomly been this emotionally attached to a relationship between 2 characters and I truly wish there was a sequel. I don't think there's anything I could write that would do this anime justice and convey how good it is. Please just watch is, it's wonderful.
