This was okay. I read the manga many years ago but seeing it on screen was entirely different. The manga flowed well and made it's dubious content likeable. This movie however... I was mortified at some points. And not because of the teacher-student thing. The script was jerky in places. The story did not flow, and neither did their emotions. I could not believe they loved each other and were not temporarily infatuated. I couldn't even believe the infatuation on Sensei's part. I think that must be blamed on the script they were given, because their acting were good. I laughed my way through this but it had good entertainment value. And at some parts, I kept yelling at her to run away from this guy. It seemed too much like he was taking advantage of a socially inept girl. This could have been done in a better way. My Rainy Days was much better. The cast were appropriate. Especially Yamashita Tohiro. The music was so-so. Rewatch value is a maybe for me. It was good while it lasted. ***Update: This film grows on you. I've actually rewatched it, and it's not so bad the 2nd time. It's actually lovable fluff if you suspend your disbelief and just go with the flow. The cuteness is overloaded. I liked it much better this time around. Try it.
