doram Jul 31 2021 2:29 am Great movie. Such an inspiring story from Yasuaki Shikano. I didn't expect it to be this sad, but after looking at the real photo of Yasuaki Shikano, I felt empty. I don't know but maybe if you're feeling hopeless right now with your life or if you're looking for encouragement, you gotta see this movie.

Yuha Jun 08 2021 9:27 pm Mitsuki has a sweet body. She needs to show it off more. The nerd was too much though. He became tiresome very quickly.

Steve Nov 06 2019 11:17 pm The beginning of the film the director focuses on the gorgeous slender legs of the main girl (I forget her name) and I pause that because those legs are so thin and perfect. I enjoyed this one.

Antel Aug 30 2019 5:52 pm The girl (Misaki) has a sweet face and nice hair, but her legs are a knockout. I want to make her my girlfriend and love her forever. How can a man be such a loser and let her get away??

Izeya Aug 25 2018 2:09 pm When the others can wait to see mitsuki n haruma, am I the only one who can't wait another silliness from oizumi ? I think he's one of the funniest man ever, but also n definetly a great actor
