Nana Komatsu × Shotaro Mamiya

Jpoper Jan 04 2020 2:52 pm I watched this because I'm a fan of its manga but I guess because the movie is very short in nature, there are few details left out here and there. I recommend reading the manga everything will make more sense and more depth.

Nanashidess Jun 11 2019 9:03 am Watch this movie last night.. very interesting and funny story.. highly recomended!!!

Mii Feb 01 2018 3:31 am Haruka Ayase is as charming as ever. Loved this movie! I loved everyone in it and every second of it. Hilarious yet sweet. Totally recommended!

Nett Mar 17 2017 12:01 am It's a sweet romantic movie. And Mamiya Shotaro is really handsome in it.

Cocorico Mar 07 2017 11:43 am This movie was hilarious (well, at least the first half, the second was a bit weaker)! My favourite scene is an American FBI imagination aka how Japanese made perfect parody of themselves trying to speak English:D

Asep-kun Jan 18 2017 6:22 am I really enjoy haruka ayase-san's acting very much. such a good movie and loveable closing soundtrack from kana nishino

Lookpat Jun 15 2016 9:29 pm Komatsu Nana as Teen Yuko, why doesn't her name appear as additional cast at least???

nana Mar 20 2016 7:41 am at first look i dont like the guy playing mitsumasa, but when he's smiled.. boy i was so wrong. well he's good looking guy, the problem is his hair style. can't Japanese people update hair style fir the actors? all of them really bad and out of date. oh well I'm rambling. i love the manga though, and looking by the trailer I'm sure the movie will be great. can't wait!
