We know what makes a great movie, and yes it lacks in a few of those.

I will say it is still enjoyable if you like the genre or more so if you liked the anime.

Definitely is cute and can pull out tears if you can tolerate some cringy spots >.<

I liked it, but it was kinda too long and repetitive. I don't know why most of japanese movies are about teens or students, aniway I found a little bit fairy tail all of the people to care about just one guy who doesn't want to be saved. And if someone dared to make me wait for him three times, he would be dead by now. I found it strange the stubborn girl from Nagasaki just gave up on him, everything was too made up. And the woman who died from cancer had pretty lameside effects from her decease. Your mones are not changing their shape if you have kidney cancer, tumors are small formations inside the liver, they can't reshape your bones. Also her voice doesn't change and she don't lose her memory, it's liver cancer, not a brain one. At least someone should check the script before publish this. Anyway the movie wasn't so bad abd I liked the main characters.

Is this like every other shoujo manga turned movie? Yes, but, fortunately, its production saved it from being a failure. That and the leading lady. She was not only very good at her acting, but also her character was easily relatable and very likable. Another plus for this movie was the friendship theme and the love triangle. The mystery behind the boy's first disappearance and then his "past" wasn't that interesting, as it wasn't treated as a mystery at all. However, he kept letting down the girl with no real explanation and that was a little annoying, as he was presented as the bad boy type though he didn't look like it. In addition, towards the end, it started getting boring and the final result was too predictable. That's why, I'm rating this one with 5 out of 10.
