Mintroll This is the very pure love story in Japanese film. I haven't seen such a pure story, so many Japanese girl including me might long for a peachy youth like this. In high school, a boy falls in love with a girl. The boy is popular in the class, while the girl is kept away from classmates because her name and looks. The point of this film is that the boy came to like her personality when he met her for the first time. But she doesn't notice it because she does not have confidence in herself. Gradually they are fascinated each other. Only to see their pure characters, I feel comfortable. The actors are also good and I love them.

ai0618 I like this movie. Actors are Haruma Miura and Mikako Tabe.Haruma plays Shota Kazehaya.Mikako plays Sawako Kurosawa. This movie's the oridinal is girls comic.I read comics.This story is Sawako called by everyone "Sadako".She is afraid by everyone. But one boy is different. The boy is Shota Kazehaya.Shota is kind to Sawako. Sawako was surprised. Because she had never kind to no one.But Sawako wants to help everyone.Sawako is very good girl.Shota fall in love with Sawako.Sawako loves Shota too.They become to a couple.It is so good.I like Kazehaya.Heis very kind and cool.His smile is shining.So Sawako must be fall in love with Shota. It is pure love story.

cesardlg I was curious to see what the live action movie would look like. They did a wonderful job casting several of the roles. In the anime, they have the ability to really handle the raw emotions of being excluded or picked on. In the live action, they count on you just being smart enough to fill in the gaps. We of course do and it works but the emotions are much more powerful in the anime. It's the first anime that's made me tear up and the movie did it to me also. If you like the anime, I recommend the movie. If you've never seen the anime, I still recommend the movie and I highly recommend the anime. There is a manga that goes a bit further than both the movie and the anime...just FYI...

Yuuki G. I'm an Asian films enthusiast, and "Kimi Ni Todoke" didn't let me down. While surely Sawako had emotional problems (cried a lot, not enough self-confidence and self-esteem issues, etc), it's this same thing that made her an inspiring character that younglings like myself can relate to.Kuronuma Sawako, a shy and friendless young girl constantly placed at a distance for her resemblance to Sadako from the "Ringu" film, is simply a sweet girl. She cares about others, places others before her, but it's that same concern and care that isn't reciprocal. And then Kazehaya, the most popular, friendly and liked boy in the class, comes in the picture, and he turns her world around, showing her that she is just good enough the way she is, by giving her the love that she never got back. From Kazehaya then comes getting exposed to the world of adolescence, where Sawako is exposed to first real friendships, love, and the fact that sometimes you have to think for yourself also, and if your heart beats a certain way, you just can't hold that back and inside. From being the shy kid who could hardly get a few words out, she learned to speak her mind, stand up for the people she loved and love itself, and in the end, she grows a lot (good character development). In addition too, it's just a cute story! I watched it yesterday and am watching it again in a little while. It's a story that leaves you with good feelings, but unlike most films, those feelings are realistic and is something that a lot of teens and young adults can relate to.So like shy Sawako did, it's better to speak your heart out than let it's beat go. An inspiring film, indeed.
