5 college age art students become close friends as they share common interests in the field of art. The newest member of their group is Hagu. She is the niece of an art professor at the university and is known as a child prodigy. Immediately two of her friends grow to like her, Takemoto and Morita. Morita is the type that lives life on the edge, is extremely confident and talented in art. When Morita gets to spend time alone with Hagu, he expresses his feelings to her by kissing her suddenly. His friend and neighbor in the dormitory is Takemoto. He is more withdrawn, not as talented in art, and, even though he is in love with Hagu, tries to act like a friend to her.
The other two friends are Mayama and Yamada. Yamada is in love with Mayama, but Mayama is in love with an older woman, who is also his boss at work.

I know this film is trying to express deep themes and youth-related problems...But truthfully, this was a waste of time, so boring and unaffecting.
It's a shame since I'm a big fan of Sakurai Sho. I think his smiling face is the only positive thing I can comment about the film...

It's a good movie... even though I'm not a fan of the manga or drama... The film vividly depicts a natural aura of youth... it's funny co'z when i watched it i was hoping it could somehow inspire me like most brilliant films I've seen but instead it showed me a character to sympathize with particularly Takemoto, he also embarks on a journey to find himself which in the end reach his goal and finally move on and in my case i'm having a difficulty to find my purpose in life lately ... Yu Aoi is also great but I hope to see more of her films to experience her natual talent and impressive screen presence...
