This movie was expectionally done in such a short amount of time. Since it was filmed in Hokkaido, the cinematography is stunning. Most of the film is during winter time so there's a lot of beautiful snow. The soundtrack is also amazing. One of the artists was Chico honeyworks who have done anime ops before so it really fit the movie. One of the pros of this movie is the outstanding supporting cast. Nobody feels left out in this movie. They all get their time to shine and have a lot of character development. I wish the two leads had some more romantic screen time but they do have some cute moments. The main themes in this movie are loneliness, not running away from problems, unrequited love and being honest with yourself. This is a feel good movie. I would definitely recommend it.

Shima's parents are divorced, after her mother's remarriage, Shima leaves Tokyo to go to Hokkaido where the story is based at. Shima comes to live with her father and how she adjusts to the new school and home environment is portrayed here.

The story is centered around Shima, Ken and Wao. I liked the way Shima handled her relationship while hiding her crush for some one else. The story is pretty much predictable. There are no unusual plots but it is very sweet.

Overall a sweet high-school romance movie to watch while sipping your tea.

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]

I love this movie. So refreshing, sweet and fluffy. The conflict is taste light too and no heavy emotional roller coaster. But for me, the story goes too fast. There's no single clue why Shima have a crush on Gen or vice versa.

The casts’ acting are great, they really know what to do and have a good chemistry one another.

After all, this is the movie I'll recommended and the movie I'll watch again (^_^)

It's not that this movie isn't enjoyable. However, it isn't something you haven't watched before. And because of the lack of originality, I don't believe I will be able to remember this one. The concept of the two boys who meet the shy, outcast girl, was nice. The friendship bonds that were created were sweet and adorable. So, frienship vice, this movie had it right. Romance vice, however, that didn't work out well for them. The couple didn't have many moments together so that the love story be properly developed. So, weak romance, okay story and good performances : 5 out of 10.

This movie was so stinkin cute!!
Also so damn confusing,

It started out great but kinda fell off around the middle .. I mean to the point I almost wanted to cut it off because it was just all over the place and I had NO IDEA what was even going on half the time. Had so many questions and not even a hint of answers. But, I'm glad I stuck around because it did get better. Can't say I got answers really... but.. it did get better. Lol

The relationships in this movie was ... really really weird. and questionable. I know through this whole thing we are told Wao is in love with Gen's sister (who is 10 years older) and she loves him too. (um excuse me, ew. Sorry but 17 and 27? Hello jailbait.)
BUT you can't tell me that Wao wasn't in love with Shima. You can't. The way he looked and acted with her? Yeah no. That is more than friends. That is more than step-bro. That is "I have deep feelings for you but I'm pushing them down into a deep part of me" -- which if that was it, could be explained by the whole "step-sibling" thing... maybe he was weirded about that? I have no idea.

And you can't tell me Gen wasn't in love with Wao... and I don't mean in the "bromance" way either.... I'm amazed he saw Shima at all at any time during the movie, he was so into tunnel vision with Wao. Lol
HONESTLY all three of them together seemed like they could have just been in a poly relationship. Because that is the vibe I was getting and then when they were in his room talking about her leaving, hands down it screamed they all loved each other in ways of more than friends. That is just how I feel about it.

In this case, this is probably the first time I have ever seen main characters as side characters and the FL ends up with the SML. It's all new to me and I feel like I've entered a different universe. Lol The storyline was pretty basic but the relationships, man. Twisty as FUCK! I got questions! So many questions!

this is the first movie that i give this low rating
i didn't get a lot of scenes in the movie and a lot of scenes didn't make sense to me and how even the two leads fell in love while they didn't even spend that much time together i mean it makes more sense if she fell in love with the second lead "wao" and by the way i liked him
The acting : "Gen" acting and facial expressions are bad and for "shima" acting it was good i like it and i liked her bravery and "wao" too wasn't bad
Music : didn't stuck in my head
I liked the friendship between wao and shima but i was sad when she liked him and he didn't even know about it
I liked her friendship with Haruka too
another thing i didn't like : they didn't give us things from the prespective of Gen

Principal - Koi Suru Watashi wa Heroine Desu Ka não foi nada do que eu esperava. O que não é uma coisa ruim, mas não é uma coisa tão boa.
Sabe quanto o drama é bom, mas ao mesmo tempo nem tanto? Então...
Eu curti, e acho que como todo live action, deve ser olhado, mas nunca esperando grande coisa.
Pra começar a história se passa em Hokkaido, o que já determina muito o clima do drama, ou seja, nublado sempre. Particularmente eu gosto de sol e me deixa mais leve ver um drama mais claro, mas cada um cada um.
Sobre os personagens: Wao e Gen não podiam fugir do clichê normal, por razões obvias.
Não, eu não shippei errado. Mas pode acontecer. Claro que fui pega de surpresa quando a Shima e o Wao viraram irmãos, uma coisa bem diferente. A relação deles é tão amor que me dá vontade de apertar os dois.
Já a Shima e o Gen são o tipico casal dos live actions. Não se gostam de inicio, depois rola uma amizade, dai algum deles começa a sair com um terceiro e se dão conta de que se amam. CLÁSSICO! Nunca falha.
Mas o que mais me deixou feliz foi a relação da Shima com a Haruka. Quando começou, confesso que achei que a Haruka iria ser a antagonista chata pra caral**, mas não! O que me fez muito feliz! As mulheres tem que parar de brigar por macho já '-' Elas superaram juntas e cresceram muito com isso, colocando sempre em evidencia a amizade verdadeira entre elas. Nas ultimas partes que a Haruka joga umas verdades na cara da Shima, eu quis muito bater palmas, já estava na hora, não?!

Bom, resumindo, é bom, mas não é.
Não tem nada de muuito novo ou que deixe um grande impacto. É bom pra se olhar sem ter nada o que fazer.
Mas ainda sim, recomendo.

Un bonito drama adolescente.

Sinceramente no esperaba mucho de esta película, pensé que iba a ser una más del montón digna de no más de un 7, pero terminó gustándome un montón. **♡( ⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎ )

Me gusta mucho el desarrollo que tienen los personajes, todos ellos tienen alguna meta o cambios que quieren realizar y me gusta que nos adentren tanto a cada uno. También la escenografía era increíble, amé las escenas con nieve o los paisajes hermosos que habían. La música igual me gustó mucho, no sabía que esa canción de Honeyworks venía de acá pero en la parte que sonó lagrimeé, ese momento de la peli fue muy fuerte. Es una película muy dramática y con varios giros, pero lo sentí como ese tipo de drama bueno que te hace sentir mil emociones y cuando llega el final te deja completamente reconfortado.

Lo único que diría que le falto, son más momentos entre la pareja principal. Me hubiera gustado ver muchísimo más de ellos dos y su relación amor-odio. Siento que el cambio de sentimientos de la prota fue muy abrupto, de repente se había enamorado de él. No es que el amor necesite algún tipo de explicación pero me hubiera gustado mucho que haya un mayor detonante para que se enamore , y en ese caso que nos lo muestren. (No me leí el manga pero, seguramente ahí lo muestran más a detalle.)

En fin, es una peli de romance muy bonita y, por más cliché que sea, lo que la diferencia de otras es la cercanía que nos hacen sentir a los personajes. En verdad la recomiendo si quieren pasarse un buen rato viéndose un drama adolescente con final feliz. <3
