They took inspiration from the manga and made it their own

I saw the anime ages ago and found it a quick cute watch so why not watch this.

Whoever plays Serinuma Kae is so cute, she's so expressive lol

Just a couple minutes in and we already had my fav 'legendary prince' Mutsumi! The actor is a pretty boy!

Why was the intro song kind of good...

Achan I love her the way she calls her cute Kae-chan<3 literally same person different fonts also her deep voice ahh~

'New' Kae is actually gorgeous, how come she has perfect white teeth and a beautiful smile like give them to me!!

MUTSUMI WITH GLASSES!!! also Shinomiya has always been fashionable, love both of their styles.

Forgot how much I enjoy Nishina, she is so androgynous and that was some beautiful dancing between her and Kae. Wish they had more of them like in the anime.

Still a fan of Igarashi, even though he was forced, him as a Prince got Kae fangirling so I'd say that was worth it.

Their reaction of her gaining weight is such an overreaction and fatphobic, makes me feel bad for her. Shinomiya literally fainted, y'all rude af. Plus the theatre kids are evil disqualify her cause of her weight I hope she doesn't help them ever again!

She should wear her hair down and no glasses more often though I kinda like the round glasses.

The little smile and nose scrunch Mutsumi did is so adorable when Kae showed interest in his historical wall, he is actually so good looking!

This is definitely different to the anime the foundation is kind of the same so I liked it nevertheless but Kae being a fushoji is a big part of her and the anime yet they left the bl like moments to the last 30 minutes of the movie, cmon!! Those moments was what made the anime weirdly unique and funny!!

The way we have a GoNana hug and the other 2 boys sit on the floor mesmerised they're actually funny.

Shinomiya and Nana forehead kiss!! Then bad boy Mutsumi with forward Shinomiya YESSS!! These girls have taste!! I'm glad they changed Shinomiya from the anime because he was annoying though I had a soft spot for him, this Shinomiya though... even I want to give him a chance.

I liked the quiz thing not gonna lie but she should've asked harder questions especially the last one, I thought Mutsumi was going to say Shion and be right lol.

I thought Mutsumi was going to win and tell her to take her time to pick who she likes as he'll be waiting and I was correct!! Love how understanding Mutsumi is <3

This ends in an open ending which I hate but the anime was the same, just gonna go read the manga I guess.

I don't want her to help the theatre group but I'd do anything for Nishina <3. Can't believe she turned the play into a bl... actually I can lol

I don't know why people were shitting on this though there are fatphobic comments and can be derogatory, the message is still somewhat pretty, you have to go with and open mind though. I think it's pretty good movie but that could be because I wasn't the biggest fan of the anime, it was just a short comedic anime to watch and also because I haven't seen in in years. again I need to re watch the anime but don't they give Mutsumi and Kae many scenes together not that I'm complaining, he accepts and understands her so well I could already tell she will pick him from the start but in the anime I was between him and Igarashi and only chose Mutsumi towards the end (which she ends up with in the manga by the way, first time I didn't pick the secondary love interest!!?)

This is different from the manga/anime if the plot wasn't the same I'd say its a completely different show. They took inspiration from the manga and made it their own, still enjoyed it as much as the anime and liked the musical like aspect and dancing! Wished they kept more of the comedic scenes that appeared in the anime.

The best way to put this is 'Kiss Him, Not Me' is the anime as she has these new found friendships while still being her perverted self and tries to literally get the guys to kiss each other not her but ends up falling for one of them while the movie is more 'Watashi ga Motete Dousunda' aka What am I going to do with this popularity? where she guides new friendships and relationships that she didn't have before and learns things she only ever witnessed, to her she'd always witness the world from a 3rd person perpective now she is in first. She learns new feelings and now has to be able to define them into categories like platonic and romantic while dealing with her new emotions, image and pretty priveledge.
