My Thoughts:

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS

I thought the story was cute.
Yuichi Nakamura is so adorable (He was also in the drama Princess Princess D if anyone cares) and Yuta Takahashi is a really good actor (He was also in Takumi-Kun 2 as Suzuki Takeshi and in Junjou Pure Heart as Kurata Shosei, again if you care )

If you dont like swimming or are afraid of water, then maybe this movie is not for you…there isn’t a single scene where water doesn’t appear or swimming isn’t mentioned.

Also, Noaki, please stop jumping off things and expecting Jun to save you! It’s so annoying!

I don’t really have anything left to say about this film. Mm…in that case:

I rate it:
6/10

This is a very half-hearted post! Sorry about that !~
