Too many fans seem to be blown away

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Not having read the manga, but having already watched a respectable number of manga movies from Japan, I can definitely say that this one is one of the good ones. The story is interesting, with the girl who looks like a horror movie character actually nailing it when it came to look scary when looking at others. The actress did a great job portraying the girl as innocent and shy, though she, sometimes, seemed to have difficulties expressing herself to the point where she hardy talked, and that was kind of tiring after a while. The rest of the cast did a great job as well. The story, in addition, focuses more on the friendship factor and less on the romance. That's nice and refreshing, but, the ending was disappointing, as, at least for me, it needed a better conclusion or a few minutes more. Other than that, it was an enjoyable movie.

This is the very pure love story in Japanese film. I haven't seen such a pure story, so many Japanese girl including me might long for a peachy youth like this. In high school, a boy falls in love with a girl. The boy is popular in the class, while the girl is kept away from classmates because her name and looks. The point of this film is that the boy came to like her personality when he met her for the first time. But she doesn't notice it because she does not have confidence in herself. Gradually they are fascinated each other. Only to see their pure characters, I feel comfortable. The actors are also good and I love them.

I like this movie. Actors are Haruma Miura and Mikako Tabe.Haruma plays Shota Kazehaya.Mikako plays Sawako Kurosawa. This movie's the oridinal is girls comic.I read comics.This story is Sawako called by everyone "Sadako".She is afraid by everyone. But one boy is different. The boy is Shota Kazehaya.Shota is kind to Sawako. Sawako was surprised. Because she had never kind to no one.But Sawako wants to help everyone.Sawako is very good girl.Shota fall in love with Sawako.Sawako loves Shota too.They become to a couple.It is so good.I like Kazehaya.Heis very kind and cool.His smile is shining.So Sawako must be fall in love with Shota. It is pure love story.

Well I have to disagree entirely with the former review. I thought this was a lovely movie. I say this not as a teenage girl, but male long past his teenage years. In Japanese movies, and TV series, friendship would seem to be just as, if not more important than love relationships. I was more interested in the friendship between the three girls. than in any potientel love between the two lead characters. I loved the fact that sadako,s two friends refused to believe that she was incapable of spreading rumours about her. In another movie, particularly Hollywood ones, you could see a falling out between them, with dialogue such as "how could you spread those awful rumours about me. I wanted to be your friend, and this is how you repay me. I never want to see you again" of course eventually the truth will come out. I also liked the fact that the real rumour spreader wasn't a bad person.She just did a bad thing.
