i love this film.

i could almost leave this review at that and post an endless stream of 
stills from the movie of him just watching sawako and smiling at her.
thats basically how you spend the whole film.



this movie satisfied every bit of miura withdrawl i had while waiting for
whatever it was to complete so i could watch it. (it was a while ago now)



smiling is what that boy does best. so yay
he does it lots.

sawako and kazeheya meet one day on the way to school and since then
both had admired each other from seperate ends of the school universe.
kazeheya was loved by everyone - undestandably
and sawako was feared by all - due to her resemblance to the ghost sadako.




sawako was a mild mannered girl who lived to please others, always kind
and helpful. the only person to recognise this seemed to be kazeheya and after
some time he manages to become friends with the withdrawn outcasted girl.

also joining in to this unlikely friendship are two girls (slightly outcasted aswell)
ayane and chizu. as rumours spread about the two girls and kazeheya since
becomming friends with sawako she realises life with her is causing problems
for her dearly loved only friends.



also throwing an irritating spanner into the would-be perfect group of friends
is popular girl kurumi - she has eyes for kazeheya and worms her way into
sawako's circle in an attempt to come between the two.



yes its pretty format for a movie story - i really dont care.
its very sweet - the bits where things go wrong dont last for ages and spiral
out of control - its more realistic and its just plain adorable.



its a girlie film. especially due to how sweet miura played kazeheya - those
longing looks and constant beautiful smiles in sawako's direction just fill up
any lingering unfullfilled first love exitement - just by watching him.




miura has such a natural pressence that put with someone like tabe mikako
who has the abilty to make very quirky characters instantly loveable
it makes a perfectly believable pairing.
as she is being weird and you are thinking *aw she's so weird. but its kinda cute*
then you see him watching her thinking exactly the same thing 
and its written all over his face.



its very funny and sweet, and a lovely way to adapt
an already firmly established manga into a movie.

i dont know what anyone else thought
but i feel like squealing when i watch it.
and do.
everytime either of them smile at each other.
