Based on the manga Gunjou - Must read to understand

This is based on a manga called Gunjou and I believe all of these reviews don't realize it is from a manga. I completely understand the confusion and lack of interesting plot to these viewers but I for one is glad that this was made. It is definitely missing a lot of critical information such as the relationship between Rei and her ex gf Ichiko, Nanae's extremely abusive father, and the manga's ending. In addition to missing out on many scenes on their toxic relationship developing into something more mutual and their struggles of trying to understand each other better. Their love for each other is toxic yet loyal only for each other.

The manga definitely holds a special place in my heart, however, I have two issues with the movie. One was their sex scene, it seemed really messy and gave off male gaze of their understanding of lesbian sex scenes, it was uncomfortable to watch. My second issue was the ending because it is completely different from the manga. but other wise, it is a really good live action movie of a manga, which we rarely get.

I highly recommend those that have watched or will watch Ride or Die to read the manga because it will hold onto your heart and leave you breathless.
