Kazunari Hira (Riku Hagiwara) is in the 3rd grade of high school. He suffers from a stuttering problem and he doesn't have any friends. Without any dreams, his only hobby is to take pictures of daily life around him. On the first day the new semester, he finds himself in an uncomfortable situation. His classmate So Kiyoi (Yusei Yagi) happens to save him from the situation. This causes Kazunari Hira to fall in love with So Kiyoi. His classmate is popular and he purses a dream that nobody knows about. By chance, Kazunari Hira learns about So Kiyoi’s dream. This becomes a secret between the two of them. (asianwiki-2021)


I am happily surprised by this drama because I loved it and may be my favorite Jdrama of 2021. I wasn't planning on watching it, except it got quietly popular and reading some comments I became interested.

This kind of BL is right up to my taste since it is the kind of plot I do love to read in books. More specifically, this drama reminded me a lot of the Straight series, a MM romance series where almost always the leads are so f**ked up and may need therapy but you can't help but root for them because of their intense chemistry and lusty romance. They are flawed characters and I love it; I realized this year that I do like my leads to be imperfect, but still perfect for each other.

Is their relationship toxic? Depends of every person but to me it wasn't. It is not like their dynamic made them unhappy; they do have a miscommunication (they are teenagers after all) but once they lay out all their feelings *coughkiyoionhiracough* they are on the same page. And about the "kimoi" thing... I love it. I love when in my MM romance books the term of endearment is "jackass", "asshole", etc precisely because it is said with love and endearment, not as a way of abuse.  I certainly cringe when the term of endearment is "baby", "honey", etc **cringe** Again, it depends on anyone's taste.

Some people were offended by the gun imagination thing... it made me laugh when I watched it 😅 who doesn't have a violent imagination once in a while? As long as it doesn't get real it's fine, no need to be so prude.

The acting was excellent, both were amazing and had a nice chemistry. So nice I didn't have any 2nd hand embarrassment with scenes like the finger sucking... it was actually pretty hot and kinda sweet. The only time I had 2nd hand embarrassment was at the shower scene in the school yard...it was too long 😅 Even if it were a straight couple I would have felt the same.

I also like the OST, both OP song & ED song.

My only complain? Too short, but on the other hand the drama was mostly about them and very little about others. Just like the Straight book series 😅

It's Shouko Komi's first day at the prestigious Itan Private High School, and she has already risen to the status of the school's Madonna. With long black hair and a tall, graceful appearance, she captures the attention of anyone who comes across her. There's just one problem though—despite her popularity, Shouko is terrible at communicating with others.

Hitohito Tadano is your average high school boy. With his life motto of "read the situation and make sure to stay away from trouble," he quickly finds that sitting next to Shouko has made him the enemy of everyone in his class! One day, knocked out by accident, Hitohito later wakes up to the sound of Shouko's "meow." He lies that he heard nothing, causing Shouko to run away. But before she can escape, Hitohito surmises that Shouko is not able to talk to others easily—in fact, she has never been able to make a single friend. Hitohito resolves to help Shouko with her goal of making one hundred friends so that she can overcome her communication disorder. (Source: MyAnimeList - 2021)


I think this is one of the wacky but well-done live action. As in, you can tell it is based on a manga, the colorful characters, the random moments (like Tadano-kun screaming in his mind); the unrealistic moments (would a teenage girl really talk to others thru her notebook, when she isn't mute??), but it has a lot of heart and funny scenes.

The characters are all likeable, except maybe for Mizobata Junpei's one... I think he was the only one not memorable but thankfully he is in like 3 episodes only. I really liked the arc of the germophobic girl and her friend, it was very sweet and heartfelt and made me teary-eyed at the end. Too bad they were in 2 (or was it just one?) episodes only.

I also liked that the actors are all in their middle 20's and even in their 30's playing the role of students, no idea why. They didn't look ridiculous at all, isn't that weird? It made it even funnier. Seeing Massu and Shirota Yu, both of 35-years-old, being students..🤣

The only 2 cons I can name are: 1) the beginning of their friendship was very awkward. I don't like the whole "can you be my friend?" type of beginning. It has to be like out of nowhere, so how Manbagi started being Komi's friends was very awkward and rather pathetic. And 2) the love triangle in the last 2 episodes. Totally unnecessary but well, many girls in shoujo manga fall for the 1st guy that is nice to her, so I kinda get it. Ridiculous, but cliche.

In a parallel world, Super Star Academy ranks people based on one's horoscope sign. Cheng Zhi Er, who has been bullied all her life, was suddenly recruited for enrollment at this academy. Her own supernatural power is slowly awakened and thus begins her new life with the heirs in this parallel world. (MDL - 2016)


One of the most ridiculous drama I've ever seen. But the good thing is that they didn't take themselves seriously and overall, it was just ridiculous funny. Charming in some way, like with all that product placement throwing in your face that made me go from 😳 to 😅. The fight scenes were so stiff and so ridiculous I was laughing the whole time.

But the reason I am rating this 4 only is because it was like watching a fantasy shoujo anime, and currently I hate fantasy shoujo; it is full of cliche and stupid tropes, like: 2 smart and handsome guys, rivals, falling for the same dumb and useless girl. The heroine is cute but serves only to be a damsel in distress. The most beautiful and rich girl in school is obviously jealous of the new girl because the boy he likes is in love with the new girl. The new girl is, of course, motherless. And of course, at the end, turns out the useless girl is not entirely useless since she is the reincarnation or whatever from the most powerful goddess. **Eyerolling**. Redemption of the bad guy at the ending.**Eyerolling**


Once again the editing of a CDrama... it ends out of nowhere, one thing happens and the next scene, other thing is happening; the pace is weird; character development, was there any? etc, etc.

Nevertheless, I don't regret watching this. I loved to see a younger, chubby-cheeks, brown-haired Xiao Zhan (he even has the natural color of his teeth!), playing the role of a rich, tsundere boy (more like Irie-kun than Domyoji, thank G). I was dying to watch him in a romantic role, with more kisses and hugs and longing, and isn't the girl lucky or what! The hugs were ok but that one kiss was so stiff and awkward ^_^ I was expecting more tbh, but if he goes and kisses the girl in surprise, no wonder it was so stiff.


I also liked to see the other members of XNINE. After "Fights Break Sphere" I am fond of 3 of them and I liked seeing them having fun. The ending, though, was ridiculously bad. Like, "whut the f" bad. Why in the world did the girl disappear if she was going to show up again? What was the point? Who was that heir?? The last 10 episodes were unnecessarily long, for the last 5 episodes I had to use the 1.25 speed.

I think that the most important thing to consider before watching this drama is: to not take it seriously and just have fun.

"Hayashi Miyoshi is one quirky high school student who enjoys doing fun things that don’t always quite make sense. Despite being hard to pin down, his mysterious charm never fails to draw others to him.
In order to finance his activities, he sometimes helps out at his parents’ restaurant, allowing him to continue living by his motto, "It’s comfortable to have enough free time to waste. (MDL-2021)"


A cute and quirky show; it is a bit hard to describe it since describing it will sound very random; however, it was well executed and very loyal to the manga. When I first saw the poster, it seemed fun so I checked the manga. I think in this case it is better to read the manga before the show to maybe understand things a little better? For example, Hayashi will seemed too robotic just watching him in the drama, but he is just a weird boy XD The actor was ok, but I think he was the least "good" one in the whole drama. He isn't exactly a newbie (being a Johnny) but I can't say if it was him or just because Hayashi is more difficult to portray since he doesn't show much in his expressions.

Needless to say, I loved Nikaido and Medaka's story. Bando Ryota as Medaka was so good! A natural and very charming. Takahashi Fumiya as Nikaido was good too, he talks like he used to wear braces, isn't that cute? And he looks like a Nikaido too, I love how the lighting changed according to his personalities (dark or the "real" Nikaido).

Besides them two, I liked the 2 girls so much as well, Fukumoto Riko as Matsuya is a sweetheart and Kawai Yuumi as Arakawa is very charming, no overacting at all and super cute both of them. I loved the bromance and the sismance and the friendship overall in this drama. I hope all these 4 have a bright future because I fell for them 4, not only their acting and looks but I loved their stories. It was my first time watching them (except for Fukumoto Riko).

If I have to say a complain it will be that it is too short! 5 episodes of 24 minutes each... movies are longer than this! The characters were well developed, but the ending seemed incomplete and open to interpretations. Which is of course something normal in Jdrama/Jmovies, but there wasn't any closure. Barely an opening :( Unless there is a movie in the future??

Jun (Daichi Kaneko) is an 18-year-old high school student. He hides the fact that he is gay from his mother and other people. Miura-san (Ryoko Fujino) is a classmate of Jun. She likes reading books about BL (genre depicting homoerotic stories). Jun tells Miura-san that BL is just fantasy and that gayness in real life is dirty. Miura-san tells Jun that his remark is offensive to gay people. Nevertheless, Jun and Miura-san become close. Jun becomes interested in Miura-san and Miura-san begins to have feelings for Jun. One day, Miura-san tells Jun that she likes him. (asianwiki-2019)


Objectively it is a very good Jdrama with good messages and very realistic. Subjectively, I hated the first 4 episodes but loved the last 4. Very mixed feelings... I was so uncomfortable in the first 4 episodes I almost drop it. I didn't, but I did watch them in a fast-forward pace.

There are many trigger warnings, such as bullying, forced outing of the closet, cheating, suicide, attempting suicide, etc. The acting was marvelous; I am a big fan of Kaneko Daichi since I first saw him in "Ashita no Yakusoku"; the boy can act and he is also an ikemen, so I have no idea why he isn't more popular. He even looks like Miura Haruma somewhat. His career so far has been a puzzle to me: from a school student in AnY to a salaryman in Ossan's Love to a school student again here. He doesn't shine in Comedies as he does in Dramas though. As for Fujino Ryoko (Miura-san), she was the real star for me in this drama. I rooted for her since she smiled for the first time. A very talented girl, how she isn't more popular?? A fantastic actress.



So since Miura Sae was the real MVP for me, and once she started to fall for Ando, it was hard to see they wouldn't go anywhere. It pained me when he accepted to be her boyfriend, trying to be "normal" and hiding his true self. But that wasn't my real problem with this drama... my main problem was that Ando was secretly having an affair with a married man.

Now, in this case I am not upset about the affair... the married guy is also gay but hides it from the world. I loved when he explained it at the end that, even if he was gay, he loved his wife. Gay men married to women can really love them (they make an example of Freddie Mercury and Mary), not just sexually, and it was the case for this married guy, only that he also loved men. So yes, the cheating part was understandable. But what made me so uncomfortable and disgusted was that Ando was, what, 17 years old? And his lover was like 40 🤢

Sae is a fujoshi, meaning, a big fan of yaoi, which I can understand. However, it made me very uncomfortable how these girls loved to sexualize pretty guys, or just put them in very awkward scenes. I am always disgusted when fujoshi goes "is he a seme or an uke?"... isn't that offensive?? Or when the girls were trying to make their boyfriends recreate yaoi scenes... awful.

So taking aside the whole statutory rape + Ando lying to poor Sae + the sexualizing thing, this story broke my heart many times. The OST of Queen didn't help either.. every time I listen to Freddie's voice it makes me want to weep. The messages this drama carry were meaningful and painful and real. Most of the hurt Ando gets is from his ignorant classmates or mother, and also his self-hate. Luckily he was 2 amazing friends like Sae and Ryohei.

 The first half was like a 5/10 but the 2nd half was 9/10. Awww the feelings... 5+9=14 /2 = 7stars

High school student Aki (Rena Nounen) tries to become a female diver in her mother's (Kyoko Koizumi) rural hometown, located in Iwate Prefecture. Aki is influenced by her grandmother Natsu (Nobuko Miyamoto). (asiawiki-2013)


To say that I loved Amachan would be an understatement. I think it is one of the cutest, most heartwarming, most charming and most uplifting dramas I've ever watched. The heroine, Amano Aki, is perfectly portrayed by Nounen Rena. I loved her and could understand why she was so much loved by everyone (in the drama and in RL). I am not sure if it was an awesome way to start watching Asadoras, because this one was top-notch, but I also fear that no one will come close to Amachan. The cast, the cute little intro song, the setting.. everything.

This drama is about loving your family, friends and little town. Aki's family was always there for her, not only her family by blood, but all the people in Kitasanriku. Aki's friendship with Yui-chan made me teary-eyed many times, and I loved the relationship between Suzuka-san and Haruko. Truly, Kudo Kankuro is a genius when it comes to female characters and female relationship. I don't see the Idol world as negative as I used to... these lovely girls just wanted to make people happy. I was so happy seeing the director so proud of his cast/drama in the extra episode; he really loved "Amachan"!

The lenght also kinda scared me at first... but when I was around Ep. 50 I was like, "I wish this was longer". I kept watching it anywhere where I had a little time off... on the bus, waiting my meals, etc. It is perfect to upload a couple of episodes on the cellphone.

I am currently suffering withdrawal symptoms... I loved it!

Urara Shiraishi (Mariya Nishiuchi) is a model student with excellent grades. Ryu Yamada (Yusuke Yamamoto) is a trouble student. One day, Urara tumbles down the stairs with Ryu. After the accident, their bodies become switched.

When they tumbled down the stairs, they happened to kiss. They guess that they may have changed bodies because of the kiss. They kiss again and they get their own bodies back.

Through kissing they can change bodies freely. They also learn that there are 7 witches with special abilities. The 7 witches can use their special abilities by kissing. Urara and Ryu set out to find the 7 witches. (asiawiki-2013)


As a fan of the anime version (I've read the first volume of the manga only), I think this is an excellent adaptation. I loved it. It is very short, 8 episodes, 36minutes long, so when I finished it left me wanting more. While watching it, I remember why I started to watch Jdramas... for this kind of fun XD

Story (10/10): so anyone who watched the anime would be satisfied with the live action. It was the same, colorful, funny, somewhat silly, lots of kisses and ridiculous situations, and likeable characters. Since it is so short, it was fast paced, practically one new witch per episode. But in spite of being short, you can feel the friendship between Yamada and Miyamura and Shiraishi and Ito, always in their investigation room, asking themselves about the witches. And of course, as any anime fan knows, there is always the beach trip scene, with the whole class XD Really, this was just like watching anime but with real people.

Cast (9/10): so fine, Yamamoto Yusuke was pretty old when he played Yamada, but that is because he is talented portraying silly, anime-ish characters. His silly expressions, all his kicks in the air, all that energy portraying an hyperactive student... This is not the first time he played an anime character. He was so good, I miss him in this kind of roles. I think there is no one in this generation as good as he was :(

Nishiuchi Mariya was excellent when she had to switch from Shiraishi to Yamada. It was like they truly switched bodies, I loved it. And I also liked Miyamura (Ide Takuya)... how couldn't I! Turns out, he was in one of the Kuroshitsuji Musicals, portraying Ronald Knox. Triendl Reina as Ito was so cute, and the rest of the witches were perfect in their roles. Except when they had to kiss... so stiff! Shiraishi was the only girl who at least pouts a bit when she kisses... the others stay there like statues, hmph. To be honest, the best kisses were btw the two guys... they had more chemistry than Yamada and one of the girls XD The only witch I didn't like so much was the last witch... she didn't act well and she looked too old for the part.

Music (6/10): I barely listened to it the first time... it was very anime-ish and not-catchy at all. I skipped it everytime since then.

Rewatch value (10/10): so light and friendly, of course I would rewatch it, especially if I am having a tough week. It has no dramas and it is pure fun XD

Heisuke Hara (Ryo Nishikido) works as a teacher at an all boys high school in Shizuoka Prefecture. 15 years ago he had an unfortunate accident which made his life go crazy. He has since become obsessed with his hometown and the school where he graduated from.

Due to declining enrollment at the all boys high school where Heisuke Hara works, the school plans to merge with an all girls high school next year. Prior to the merger of the schools, a culture festival is held for the students from the two schools. Heisuke Hara struggles to make the culture festival a success. (asiawiki-2014)


Usually I try to avoid school dramas because I think I've see the best of them. But I wanted to see Mitsushima Hikari (Hachiya-sensei) in a light role for once. And I am so happy I did! Not only she finally gets a happy life, but the story was so much fun. When I was watching it, I was constantly thinking:

"ah, I want a teacher like Hara-sensei when I was in school" (he loves his students, he gives wonderful and encouraging speeches, and he is so cute <3).

"ah I want to have students like them" (they were all nice people and honest and not one of them was mean and they were all fighting to have a good time in their first year as co-ed).

"ah I want classmates like them when I was in school" (they were all fun and supportive).

There are like 12 students that are the main students in the drama, and each one of them contributed to the story. There are silly and fleeting romance stories between them, one day A loves B, next day B loves C, so A falls for D, and so on. Still, their friendship was never fleeting, this was a classroom to remember fondly in the future. I specially teared up when the transsexual student came out of the closet and all her classmates were "we knew and that's ok". Same when her father, who at first refused to acknowledge his beautiful son dressed as a girl, finally embraced the reality and said " thank you for pretending to be a boy till now". What a beautiful quote.

The script was beautiful, nothing corny about it. I can safely say that this drama is one of the best school comedy in Jdramaland. This one deserves more love! When I was in ep. 6 or so I was already a bit sad since it was almost the end.

Nishikido Ryo was lovely as Hara-sensei. No wonder his student fell for him. Not only he is a kind person, his smile is bright and he loves what he does. And I love Hachiya-sensei's love story with him. The kabe-don, and the grip in the train, and all her craziness. And of course, she looked so pretty with that short hair. It suits her heart-shaped face. Really, I loved everything about her, from her face to her personality to her weird clothes.

The principal (Namase Katsuhisa) suits this kind of role perfectly. He wasn't annoying (like his role in Gokusen), and his talk-show was very funny. First time I liked all teachers in a school drama! And all these students too... I loved them all. I have seen most of them is guest roles in other dramas, so I am happy to know that they are doing well, being still young.

Music was ok, I didn't pay much attention to K8' son but I know it suited the fun, vibrant life of school-life.

Mini-reunion: Ryusei Ryo (my boy!) with another Kyoryuger member.

At a high school entrance ceremony, high school student Kotoko Aihara (Honoka Miki), who isn't that smart, notices pretty boy Naoki Irie (Yuki Furukawa). She falls in love with him immediately. Kotoko initially doesn't express her feelings to him, but finally has a chance to tell him how she feels. Unfortunately, Naoki turns Kotoko down, saying "I don't like dumb women."

One day, Kotoko Aihara's house is severely damaged by an earthquake. Until the house is rebuilt, Kotoko Aihara and her father decide to live with her father's friend. When Kotoko Aihara moves to her new temporary house, she is surprised to learn that Naoki Irie lives there as well. (asiawiki-2013)

If I had to choose one color to describe this dorama, it would be PINK.

If I had to choose a drink, it would be HOT CHOCOLATE (warm and sweet).

If I had to choose something edible, it would be COTTON CANDY (fluffy).


Story: (9/10) I had a smile during all the first 12 episodes, it is that cute. The first 12 episodes were the cutest thing I've ever watched. I don't understand some reviews that say Naoki was a jerk. He was, but in an unharmed way. Yes, he tells Kotoko he only likes smart girls (alleging that she was dumb). Yes, he humiliates her in the promo night. But she always has a comeback, she doesn't stay there, defeated, while he belittles her, like Hyuuga from RMPW does. Naoki is cold, but he smiles now and then, amused by Kotoko's tactics and how much she loves him. He is never rude, he never tries to harm her, like Domyoji did. And thank God Kotoko is not a stupid girl. Just because she isn't the top student in her class doesn't make her dumb, or not-smart. Once she commits to be in the top 100, she succeeds. Isn't that smart?

Also, I don't understand why people are mad and saying she is a stalker. She is just a teenage in love. When I was in high school, I used to "spy" on my crush too. If she didn't do all the things she did, like taking Tennis class, she wouldn't have made any progress in her relationship with Naoki. Given Naoki's personality, her "stalkerish" behavior made him fall in love eventually. That is not "not have pride", like some reviewers say.

The love triangles that happen throughout the story were well done and not annoying at all, since nothing happens. Kin-chan is the sweetest second lead character I've seen so far, and it was hard not to root for him. But since Kotoko was my favorite character, and everything that made her happy was Naoki, I just had to root for Irie-kun, even if it was hard to do. Like in the final 4 episodes.

While Ep. 1 to 12 were PERFECTION, Ep. 13 was so-so, Ep. 14 and 15 were the hardest since it was all about the arranged marriage, Kotoko suffering because of that and Naoki making a huge backward step in their relationship. Like, in 12 episodes now and then he shows something that seems he likes her, a small smile, an intense look, a longing look, etc, and that Ep 10, which was... *swoon*. The cutest kiss in the entire doramaworld. But no, he has to go and be an ass in Ep. 13, 14, 15 and half of 16. It was like he didn't have any feelings for poor Kotoko.

The last 30 minutes of S. 1 was MEH. Yes, we have some romantic scenes. Yes, finally Naoki realizes his feelings and makes Kotoko the happiest girl on Earth. But we could enjoy 30 minutes ONLY of that, after suffering for 3 episodes and a half. It felt too rushed. It WAS too rushed.

All side characters were good. Kotoko's father, worrying for his daughter... Finally a present parent! Naoki's mother was funny and I loved that she was Kotoko's fan, but there were times were it was too much. She is the one that was a stalker, not Kotoko! She pushed his son too many times into marrying Kotoko. If I were him, I would have dated another girl just to piss my mother :( I also like when Kotoko's rival allied with her to spy on Naoki. There isn't a single villain in the entire story, so that's another positive thing about this dorama.

Acting/Cast: (10/10) Not all actors were superb, but the girl who played Kotoko deserves all merits. She is the one that carried the show. I think a bad actress would make a stupid, dependent Kotoko. But Miki Honoka made Kotoko a sweet, honest, super funny girl. And she is so pretty! Her smile, her different hairstyles... this is the first time I see a MC in a J-dorama wearing short skirts. Everything suited her. Her duck lips were the funniest I've ever seen. All her expressions, actually. All her mannerisms. From Ep. 1 to 16 I kept thinking Naoki was the luckiest guy ever, to be with such a bubbly girl. What a wonderful actress, she was born to be a comic star. No, I am lying. To be A STAR, because when she cried, I was sad as well. When I empathize with the character is when I realize I am watching a star. If she was happy, I was happy. And since she was happy 95% of the show, this dorama made me the happiest XD And she was only 16! She didn't even pluck her eyebrows yet, so young.

Furukawa was good as well, since he didn't have to show much in his expressions, but my, he showed so much in his eyes. I only wished he wasn't that skinny, because he had the perfect height, and of course, a perfect English accent.

The only actor who wasn't so good was Sudo-sempai. He overacted too much, like an anime character. Like Oscar from Hana Kimi, only that in this dorama it looked ridiculous. Naoki's mother overacted a lot as well, but it suited the moment.

Music: (10/10) I loved the OP song (I didn't paid much attention to the EP song). All 16 episodes I enjoyed watching and listening to the OP sequence. And the guitar version was so goo too. I am currently listening to the main song, "UPDATE". It has an anime feeling. I love Kotoko in the OP sequence, searching for Naoki, walking through the streets of Tokyo. And while she is searching for him, Kin-chan is after her. Very cute.

Rewatch Value: 10/10 As soon as I finished it, I wanted to watch it all over again. I am missing them so much, and it has only been 2 days!

OBS: I've never read the manga, watched the anime nor any of the other versions. And I am still not sure if I'll watch S. 2 ... but of course I will eventually :P

Takeo Goda (Ryohei Suzuki) is a high school student 2 m tall and weighting more than 100 kg. He has a righteous character. The male students adore him, but female students do not like him. All of the girls Takeo likes prefer his handsome friend Makoto Sunakawa (Kentaro Sakaguchi).

One day, Takeo saves female high school student Rinko Yamato (Mei Nagano) from a pervert on train. Takeo falls in love with her at first sight. He feels Rinko likes Makoto, but Makoto isn't the one she likes. Takeo struggles to liaise between Rinko and Makoto. (asianwiki-2015)

A veru cute and well done live action! I've read 2 volumes of the manga, and I am currently watching the anime, so I can't compare. But as a standalone movie, I loved it. It is very anime-like, very cute, beautiful cinematography, gorgeous colors, well paced story, and what is the best, I loved the cast. Mainly the 3 main characters... Suzuki Ryohei looked so much lika an anime character, he did the voice and expressions so well without looking ridiculous. Kentaro looked attractive as always (the hair, though, is not my favorite... he looked so cute in "Kounodori", which is my favorite hairstyle so far), and the girl was so cute! In the manga (and currently, in the anime) I find the girl too "kawaii", with that height and that voice ... next to Takeo it looks like a little girl with her father... but the movie worked perfectly because the girl is not short, nor annoying at all. In fact, her smile was adorable!

I would loved that when they confess their feelings, at least they hold hands, but I understand it couldn't be done because Suzuki-san is way older than Mei. That may be my only complain about the movie. About the story (and the reason why I dropped the manga) is when there is that fire and Takeo saves everyone. I think that kind of plot a lazy way to make the MC hero in the girl's eyes and the reader/audience's eyes.

I've read comments of people going crazy about the extra scene in the credits, but for me personally, I thought poor Kentaro couldn't breath properly XD poor Suna!
