Plot

Takuma, a boy who is told he will die before he’s 20, and Mayu, a girl who is in love with him…

The story begins when they are little kids. Mayu, whose father is a doctor, meets Takuma, who is hospitalized in her father’s workplace. They develop feelings for each other, but Mayu learns of Takuma’s grave illness and that he will die before he turns 20. The distraught children make one promise for an uncertain future.

Time passes, and the girl becomes a young woman, and the boy, a young man. Mayu continues to support and love Takuma. On the other hand, Takuma, who knows his days are numbered, pushes away his feelings for Mayu and distances himself from her. He cannot stand to see her cry or hurt her more than he already has. Then Mayu meets another man who has feelings for her, and Takuma meets a woman who has the same illness, and their feelings for each other begin to waver.

Misunderstandings, unsaid thoughts, the frustrations and chagrin of youth… What will become of their love while the clock keeps ticking away in Takuma’s life?

Mohd Adam Dec 04 2014 9:10 am I love this movie about their first love affair. It's so exciting and interesting to watch them act with courage and guts. To give love to someone was not that easy as it looks in this movie.

kiki Nov 01 2014 2:02 pm I love that movie so much !! I want to know the name of the piano piece playing as background music when takuma found out his situation fromthe conversation of his parents and doctor when he was 8. I seriousky want to listen to that piece and plz help me if anybody knows.

anonymous May 30 2014 5:30 pm Omgg! This movie made me cry a lot and no akount of words can describe how I feel right now. Regarding the end I think it was perfect and realistic cause life doesn't always offer miracles and just like any other person who has this disease it's not meant for them to always live! :'( Anyway amazed by the story and the performances ♥_♥

neiljohn Aug 28 2013 4:53 am this is a great japanese movie,im happy to watched this movie.

Rodes Apr 12 2013 6:53 pm Does anyone know the name of Kou's college girlfriend?

liz Mar 24 2013 3:15 am Kudos to the child actors who played young Takuma and Mayu.

The boy is soo cute

Do you know their names?

Jessieline Nov 09 2012 1:47 pm The manga actually ends with Mayu and Takuma playing with their children...

J Nov 01 2012 8:25 am I really really love the story's flow and arrangement. It's very neat and beautiful, definitely one of the best J-movies I've watched., though it will be better if Mayu and Takuma have a child before he dies. At least the ending would be less sad and painful... ;_;

Aditya Aman Oct 17 2012 10:47 am Manga had an unclear ending on a happy Note... i can't help it... I'm crying Every time i think of it my eyes get filled up. There are awkward moments because of it. But i guess it's worth it...

Bridget Aug 11 2012 9:15 pm MOST BEAUTIFUL LOVE OF ALL!!!!!!!!

ichiruki Mar 16 2012 3:09 pm i love that manga it's a beautiful drama I even cried in front of it is really too sad I'm really disappointed that takuma die at the end I would have liked that at least she is pregnant takuma for it does not remain as ashes from him but I really cried when the father of mayu announced the death of takuma (sorry if everything is not right I'm French)

keyko matsuyama Mar 03 2012 4:05 pm this film is really sad but i like this );

heny chan Jan 29 2012 1:41 am This film very sad..... itss made me cried,,,, good film :(

Leather Cover Jan 13 2012 12:31 am It?s really a great and helpful piece of information. I am happy that you simply shared this helpful info with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.

kucingdekil Jan 07 2012 12:50 pm not the best movie.. but it's pretty touching...

camille Dec 17 2011 4:55 am i wish that takuma will come bk for mayu.... so sad at the end part.... :(

camille Dec 17 2011 4:53 am this is the bst movie i evr watch ... but honestly im a bit broken heart w/ this movie ...

lhalha Dec 17 2011 2:27 am woooow!!! it's amazing , i very-very like this film, just love the romance,, i like this so much

Karen R. Dec 14 2011 3:08 am THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST MOVIE FOR ME.

Ari Dec 12 2011 6:40 pm very good movie...witch a part on story line is a great and character of mayu make memorable after i watch it. sad story........

no name Dec 11 2011 6:40 am i love the girl so much...

beula Nov 29 2011 7:20 am i loved it very much and cried ,i believe it has both love and comedy unlike koizora . yet i like them both cause it shows true love

azy Nov 22 2011 3:08 am i love the movie..it is so touching.. has a resemblance with koizora which is a good movie also..

maneki hobbang Oct 11 2011 10:17 pm i don't think i can watch one love-separated-by-death movie without thinking about koizora. although i wouldn't watch miura haruma in another one of the same plot, okada masaki definitely reminded me of him. however, the characters' personality contrast is more original and fun. i do like both inoue and okada's performance, but the kids are too cute--i wished for a second that the kids played the entire part.

lucy Oct 06 2011 8:51 pm i recommend both the manga and the movie!!^^ especially the manga ;]

spoilers*

whaaaaat??? =O if i remember well.. i believe that takuma survives in the manga... whadup with the movie?? so sad~ T-T

dex Sep 11 2011 11:28 am This movie is actually a damn good one !! But, being subjective, I don't like its ending... Prefer a happy one, not a sad ending IMHO

Marvalin Aug 12 2011 9:01 pm I just read the manga, and it was so good that now I think I might watch the movie. :)

XaXoRe Aug 07 2011 5:52 pm takuma did die in this movie? in manga we will not allow him to die what about mau? T_T live long takuma

Jyrmie Eisenheart Aug 07 2011 5:51 am This is one of the best Japanese movie I've ever seen.. The plot is a little similar to "Koizora", but this movie has its own special characteristic that can make you watch until the end. This movie is so magnetic and touching. Definitely worth my time. The acting and everything was great. A great salute for the actors and producers! They made a great movie that will forever live in the viewers hearts.. ♥

Charlie Po Jul 07 2011 2:21 pm Just finish watching it right nowwwww...... I cried so much!!!! Nice film, Mao Inoue is so cute and her acting in this role is perfect!!!

alaw zhang May 12 2011 10:54 am kasiih jempoool dah wat nie film..........

aby16jun May 03 2011 7:00 pm i realllllllllly love dis movie 8 makes me cry many times.....masaki okada and inoue mao has a very strong chemistry.. at first I dont want to watch 8 bec. i'm a jun and inoue mao's fan.. and I just want to watch movie that the two of them are the star..........

the only thing that I can promise u if u will watch this movie u will cry and be thankful that there is what call LOVE........

Neri May 02 2011 5:22 am

sigh how i wish takuma did not die in the END T__T sad story yet it is pretty amazing ^^

daisy29 Apr 19 2011 2:46 pm umm quick question... i know that it already up on youtube with subbed but does anyone know where i can watch the whole movie cause someone didnt upload the whole movie and i went to a french website called wat and the link was broken.

Amina Feb 19 2011 2:37 pm hi, I liked the manga very much,and i'll love to see the movie, any one can tell me please where i can see it? thanks

alexx Feb 10 2011 6:28 am this love story is a wonderful one, but in the same time is also sad. i think mao is a beatiful and talentated actress.

J Feb 08 2011 12:05 am Absolute perfection! We all know that there just too many Asian dramas/movies with very similar plots: the couple grow up together and eventually one of them dies from an illness. But this one is different from all the rest. Absolutely touching and spine-tingling.

A must watch!

shusuke9 Jan 21 2011 3:44 am is a lovely manga and hoping that is the same like the movie.. talking about the past,love and friendship..,this has a story behind it.. a story that touches people hearts and wanting to experience what is like.. a story that includes romance and tragedy,, a story that reminds all of us that you shouldnt take things for granted nor take whatever belong to yours life isnt easy and life is unfair but this will help to remaind us

Mimi Jan 06 2011 9:01 am I thought the most touching asian drama i've watched were ichi rittoru no namida and a millionaire's first love but when i saw this i cried a lot. It was really great, their love story beats Romeo and Juliet's story.

Saitou Yakumo Dec 30 2010 9:31 pm this movie is so great.. its like koizora ..where the guy also died..

i bet japanese movie is just so great ...

nei Dec 21 2010 1:39 am this movie wa such a very good one! even though it's rare nowadays, i belive that this kind of life still exist in each and everyone. i might be so emotional in public but i can tell you that this kingd of lovelife still exist.

Haruki Nov 29 2010 4:53 am splendid. wonderful. spellbinding.=)

maria Nov 09 2010 3:50 am It was too sadd.... huxhux.. I was crying when I watched Takuma died.... huisxhxuxhxuxu

test Nov 03 2010 2:16 am Hi, I heard there's a manga for this shw... cn ani 1 tell me wad iz the title of the manga and izzt published in either eng or chinese?

Thanks!

Hanaja Oct 25 2010 1:15 pm I cried a lot!! This movie is so great! Reminds me that we should give everything to make our loved ones happy! We should always make every moment memorable for our loved ones. The most touching movie ever!!! :( I wanna watch it all over again eventhough it brings me so much heartbeak..

Jiaenelideman Oct 22 2010 2:18 pm Luv this movie.

non sibi Oct 06 2010 8:58 pm I like its story plot. Remind me that I shall always be grateful for a new day.

anselle Oct 04 2010 6:16 am very great movie..romantic and heart breaking movie.... it made me cry and think that we should always treasure every moment with person we trully love...

Elisabeth Oct 03 2010 9:49 pm I really like this movie so far. (I've only watched part of it.) It's very good. The story is great and I really like the characters. If you're wondering where to see it English-subbed, you can go to mysoju.com. :)

jenwei7 Sep 20 2010 2:01 am super nice movie... very touching and sad...

weiwei Sep 14 2010 12:39 pm ahhhhhhh I only cry at the end T_T The story ist soooooooo great *__*

cristah Sep 10 2010 12:20 pm I wonder what Japanese writers cud get for writing such heartbreaking stories, and yet, they're so damn effective! It started with Koizora, and then Tada Kimi wo Aishiteru, and then 1 liter of tears, and now... Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu... shit! I can't just stop crying! :sniff: :sniff:

Fredy Sep 04 2010 11:58 pm I love so much this movie :) Mao Inoue is very beauty and the theme song is greatt!!!

kami Sep 04 2010 5:36 am I love this movie. It made me smile, laugh, get teary-eyed, and believe in love all over again. <3

Ali Jul 21 2010 11:12 am Who did Sea Kumada kiss? :o I was looking for that guy but then his name wasn't there. Anyone? help me.

Stephanie Jul 21 2010 1:12 am my heart really cries for Takuma and Mayu... T_T

one of the most unforgettable Japanese movies I've watched...

Shinkei-chan Jul 18 2010 8:01 am This is truly a moving and heartwarming story... it's sweet but sad at the same time. In a situation such as the main protagonists', one must only keep on looking at the bright side of life, and continue to live with hope in their hearts. "I Give My First Love to You (Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu)" is one of the best stories and movies I've watched. :)

kaoru94 Jul 17 2010 2:45 am oh my TT this movie really made me cry . geeezz .

Hikari Sep 26 2009 9:07 pm Ahh!! So cool it releases on my birthday!! Can't wai~t! I love Inoue Mao!

dhana Aug 04 2009 8:17 am ... i reaLLy Like the manga & i was Lookin' forward for the movie for aLmost haLf a year but i was kinda disappointed with the main guy -.- , inoue is ok i guess , her acting skiLLs are great but her face doesn't suit mayu's personaLity & attitude ...

Eri Jul 07 2009 12:55 am Looking forward to this movie! I am a great fan of the manga and the mangaka! Hihi.

I'm quite happy with the trailer...I hope Inoue Mao will do justice to the role as well as Masaki Okada as Takuma. I like Okada in Hana-Kimi and Inoue was okay as Tsukushi in Hana Yori Dango. :P

ehra2008 Jul 03 2009 9:53 pm Waaa............Inoue Mao she is really great.....And yeah they say that Manga is really a great story!!!!!!!

ruth Jun 19 2009 6:38 am can't wait can't wait!!! just love the romance~~~!!! <333

Emily Mar 10 2009 6:47 pm I didn't know they were making a movie of that! I love that manga. <3 It's so sweet.
