I really never expected that when I read the synopsis! (⊙_⊙) This movie start with somehow ordinary crime and suspense story, and then suddenly it end up with a great plot and great twisted ending! In my opinion, Noriko deserves that. I hate the type of girl like that (¬_¬)
The casts acting are great, but no one outstanding more than another, because they have the equal amazing acting during the movie.

The casts acting are good enough, but not outstanding. They indeed have the good skill, but somehow the chemistry is not built good enough.

The story is so real and touching. I could really feel the difficulty to become a mangaka. In addition, the story goes with perfect speed, not too slow and not too fast. Existing themes were told in sufficient detail. The acting of the cast is good, so the audience can really see and feel what they want to convey through this movie.

"Even if you can't understand them one hundred percent, you can change people...you try to understand just by being near them."I've stay up all night long to finish this movie and I'm glad I did that. The twisted plot and unexpected ending paid my eye bag (^o^)
At the beginning, this story is looks like a standard crime story with Yamaneko as the criminal. Many comedy occur as Hideo chase after Yamaneko to interview him. And there is a special appearance of Horikita Maki. As you know, she and Kame played together in Nobuta wo Produce, but when they meet in this drama, Maki is dressed up as Kinomiya Nagisa in Higanbana (^_^) The comedy stopped (a little) after the plot twisted and the truth reveal, and those all makes this drama even more fascinating.
Oh by the way, I watch this because of Kamenashi Kazuya and Narimiya Hiroki (kyaaa~), their acting is unquestionably superb, but I never know that Hirose Suzu is great too, this is the first drama I watched her.

Good movie. This movie is one type of film that makes you have to think, even after the movie has long ended. Although this movie runs quite slowly, the story is quite interesting, because there are many mysteries that must be solved and also some pieces of the story that we have to find the connection. There are no twisted plots, but the ending of the story is difficult to guess (at least for me). But after the movie has long ended, I still wonder what is the drug that being injected to all the victim? What is the motive? Too bad they never reveal it. Was this review helpful to you?
I’m afraid I can’t say much about this movie, because you should watch it to see the beauty of this movie. Actually, because this movie is talk about illness and it’s a based on true story movie, I’m a bit afraid to watch it at first. I know this will be sad and I know I’ll be crying in the end. But, what really warmed my heart is the support of the family and the friends (in the end).
The casts acting was superb, first and foremost is Yamada Ryosuke’s act.

This is quite a light and simple movie in my opinion, but I love how Yamaken and Hashimoto Ai give a different vibe in this movie, since I first saw they play together in "Another" (^_^) This movie focused on the interaction between the male lead and female lead, but not only tell a story about their romance. It’s tell us mostly about the teenager problem, about their dream and how they’re reach it, and also about how they see the world.
I just hope they'll meet again in the end after Mii hear the song.

At first when I watched this movie, it's feels like I'm watching CSI series (^_^) The story is great, I love the suspense and investigation thing. And the plot! Gosh, I REALLY LOVE THAT TWISTED PLOT! I don't have any thought that the murder is … ok, ok, I won’t spoiled it (^_^) The act of each cast was great, especially Abe Hiroshi, we should not questioned his skill (^_^)
The time the truth revealed ... that's so sad and touching. I cried …

This movie makes me hungry (^_^;) Why? Because the way Sayaka eat really makes me want to take a plate of rice, she seems really enjoy eating! (^o^)This is a heart (and stomach :p) warming movie. The story quite light and not too hard to understand. We also can learn a little about wild herbs and other plant, which we can eat or cook. I’m not a good cook, but I’m a good eater, so this movie really wake up my appetite (^_^;) Although the plot is something we can easily understand, but in my opinion the conflict is too easy to become a conflict and I’m kinda dislike when Itsuki gone without telling anything. Nevertheless, the ending is quite nice for me (^_^)
The acting of the casts are good enough, even though for me Iwata Takanori could do better than this, because his acting feels lack of emotion a.k.a a little bit feels flat for me. On the other hand, Takahata Mitsuki portrays an office lady, which always hungry but never eat healthily, very well.

It's a good movie anyway. The story goes smoothly and naturally, no wonder because this is based on true story. The ending is expected yet unexpected, because in the middle I still think of the opposite ending (^_^;)
Nishikido Ryo and Kitagawa Keiko's acting was good. But, honestly I always wait Kubota Masataka appearance in this movie XD

So touching and heart warming from the very start until the last minute (^_^) Sometimes I lost focus, I focus on the meal and the dessert (^o^) Actually the movie have a daily topics and conflicts, but they've been packaged into a great, nice yet simple show.
Chiaki is nice, but episodes 8 and 9 makes me wanna throw him to the sea (^_^;) Kanata is the cold-hearted-yet-gentle one, but I love his straight forwardness (^_^) Touma is flirty little boy, but thanks to him, this movie becomes not too gloomy and mellow. And Misaki...I love the tough-yet-mellow girl like her (^o^)

So far the plot/story didn’t have the big gap with the manga. The cats acting are good too, but sometimes I feel Fujisawa Ema's acting is too much, it makes unnatural. My favorite scene is on the Christmas Eve when Otani looking for Risa.

Honestly, I'm a little bit miss-focused when I watch this movie (^_^;) I always search for the cat and sometimes not paying attention to the story, so I must replay some scene (^_^;) But, this story is great...the conversation between the inner self who afraid of death...I didn't realize that at the beginning. The plot a little bit confusing in the middle, but that's the uniqueness of this movie I think.
