I will say that if anyone is hesitating about watching this film, they shouldn't be; take it from me. I wish that I could go back in time and watch the movie again for the first time. Since the movie came out 10 years ago, you would think that the movie was a bit old however, I never got that feeling watching it.

I have only watched two Japanese movies in my life but I have to say, out of the two movies, this one is defiantly my favourite. The way Sawako was so sweet and innocent and the way the access portrayed her was wonderful. I have never seen the anime of this movie so I can compare the two but I would defiantly watch it if it is similar to the movie.

Honestly, the ending made me cry tears of happiness becasue it was so good to see them where they were at the beginning, Even though Sawako was unclear about her feelings to Kazehaya towards the end, she made it clear to him and the way they began their relationship was so sweet and innocent that I couldn't help but cry.
