The movie is not how I thought it would be,at some parts it was awkward. They rushed the story imo. the actors playing Taiichi and kouhei were pretty similar to that of manga but the kouhei in the movie seemed quite timid, in the book he appeared rather cold. there was some awkward pauses between them,overall it could be better. I really liked the manga so I had better expectation from the movie. Not that their acting was that poor it's just me who didn't find it as good as the manga.
