Synopsis

The story begins with Makoto Segawa, a freshman at Meikei University. On the day of his university entrance ceremony, Makoto meets a fresh-faced, quirky girl named Shizuru. Makoto has a complex which causes him to shy away from contact with other people, but she succeeds in getting him to open up to her naturally. All Shizuru wants is to be with Makoto, so she takes up a camera too. The two spend their days together taking photos in the forest behind the campus. However, Makoto has feelings for another student named Miyuki. Shizuru decides that if Makoto likes Miyuki, she wants to like her too. She wants to like everything that he does. One day, she tells Makoto that she wants to take a photo of them kissing in the forest as a present for 'her birthday'. He obliges for her sake, and they kiss in the forest.

NEON POLTERGEIST WHY?..You don't make endings like these. It's unfair, It's not healthy for any Viewer. It's just plain weird. First of. everyone is overacting. The tamaki guy Always says the wrong thing. He just plodder along like a braindead. The Girls sickness, the overacting, the Japanese cuteness.. alright I get it! if it's done with some authentic feelings in the mix. Aoi Miyazaki looks like she really could act under the right direction. I did like the moving in part.. I like that sort of lovestory buildup. But it never gets there.I don't know what to Think of this film.. A Little spoiler: What kind friends doesn't send you letters from your long lost love? They can't be ordinary humans, maybe cyborgs. Why do they prevent him from meeting the girl of his Dreams and let him explain to her how much they love each other? Even though she's sick I bet your ass she wants to spend rest of her time with him.. sigh..Nobody does that. nobody Thinks like that. If this really had happened to me, I would have blown my head straight off. No kidding,..that's how cruel this soap opera ending is. Remember the Movie 5 centimeters per second.. This is much much more Surreal.
Raj Chowdhury When I watched the movie, it was raining outside. And I tried to feel the movie from the deepest part of me during this romantic season. I extremely liked the acting, story and of course the beautiful scenery of Japan. The college life story was also very charming and both the actress were looking gorgeous and gave their best. The lead actor was also done a great job and the story was full of love and charm. Love and sacrifice were the main themes of the movie and it was presented quite beautifully in it. this is a must watch film for every one especially those who wanna know the true meaning of love. I watched it more than 10 times and I suggest everyone to watch this with a calm mind if you want to enjoy a decent romantic saga...
sitenoise I was a bit surprised by the sometimes frank and honest dialog coming from Aoi Miyazaki's character in what for the most part is a very family friendly bit of Japanese young love/first love cinema. But it is appropriate for her character, a set-to-mature-at-any-moment young woman deficient in some necessary growth hormones needed to push her over the edge (that when triggered by a first kiss could ultimately be her ... undoing) and seems trapped in young adolescence. It's a very cute and cute-funny, and really sad, sad, film. Miyazaki teeters the edge between coy and seductive so well it made me dizzy ... with delight. I could, however, understand her pouty lipped attempts at cuteness turning some folks off. She does slip out of it each time very quickly, though. That's part of her charm, I guess.The film is beautifully photographed. The 'heavenly' forest is fairy-tale gorgeous, as are the three young actors we spend time with. The story is engaging too, clearly a novel-adapted one.
bestaddress Yes, that's right. I am a real male but i cry after i watch this movie secondly, i cry, ah! Whatever, i am a real male, this movie is telling us how to give love with pure heart not with anyelse, we should give love because we should not because anything.. This movie telling us too, that we shouldn't get word "late" for anything especially for love in this case. We teached by this movie to see other not by sight but by value of truth, yes, Sizhuru is a good-kiddy girl, Miyuki is a good-mature girl. Whatever this story is good, we teached not to lie too. Yes, this movie teach us a lot about basic lesson like Sizhuru's words and Miyuki's which is told to Makoto. I cried because i remember someone (not me) i know closely, like them, oh..
