Asian romance in an incomparable interpretation. All emotions are spoken without unnecessary phrases and the most tender scenes are achieved with just a single gesture or glance. Perfection has been left behind this time, as the script stretches out too widely in all moods, but romantic souls will search for tissues anyway.

Given the description and some of the comments, I thought it would be more of a tearjerker. Not that it wasn't. At times you can feel the searingly painful scenes from this film, you can shed a tear, but the film goes on. And it ends as it should. I definitely recommend watching it. The performances by Mirai Moriyama, Masami Nagasawa and Takao Ōsawa were great, at least for me – I really enjoyed them.
