April Dec 10 2020 8:26 pm Sad! I knew it would be sad but DANG... The beginning, as most Japanese movies are in my opinion, was slow in terms or story but also face past in terms of relationship building between the main characters. Past that though, the storyline is great, the acting is not too much or too little, and emotions are GREAT. Honestly, I think this movie is one of the better takes on this cliche one person dies trope. 9.5/10 if you're thinking about whether to watch it or not, you definitely should :)

Wisyah chan Jun 02 2020 9:54 pm Waaa i knew that the ending is super sad but i still cried so hard

Wonder Feb 04 2019 10:43 pm .. why is japanese love to make movies with tragic themes, like boy/ girl will die, only few months to live.. i have count so many japanese films with this theme.. and oh my god, the diseases, keeps getting weird.. i cant.. lol

23moviewatcher Feb 01 2019 1:09 am give this guy a break from playing tragic films lmao

Lala Oct 24 2018 2:43 am That plot got thinking it's like a combination of A Walk to Remember and Midnight Sun. =D will watch it for sure cos i'm a Takumi fan!

Eza Oct 19 2018 5:08 pm Oh no!! Another project for Takumi with someone being ill. Time to get some tissues

Xiu tempo Oct 17 2018 9:23 pm Can takumi plays in a movie without someone being terminally ill? Pankreas, live and lies and now this?? Dang

Slasher Oct 16 2018 11:10 pm I smell another tear-jerking movie

Yasushi Oct 16 2018 12:57 pm Two of my favorite actors in a movie. The movie sounds like a tragic one, but I'm looking forward to it anyway :)
