The title itself makes you interested in the motion picture. The excellent evaluations I’ve read prior to viewing this film, made me choose that this one was gon na be the next film on my Shojo Manga Movies Marathon.
Reality is just couple of minutes in the movie and you will seem like it deserved playing this one. The photography and the Tokyo surroundings is amazing, provided perfectly by the director (Norihiro Koizumi) and the cinematographer (Hiro Yanagida). The monologue in the start by the primary lead Aki (Takeru Sato) puts you in the ideal state of mind.
