My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

This movie was a little confusing….well for me it was. The first time i watched it I didn’t really understand what was going on with Ryu and Noboru…at first I was like “Is Noboru possessed?!!? Does he think that he’s his brother?!?!”
Then the second time i concluded that Noboru developed schizophrenia or something due to the trauma of his brothers death…well that’s what i think anyway ~

[MORE DETAILED SUMMARY…well it’s more of a ‘this is what happened!’ …For those who didnt get it….like me! vv]

Sooo….Hayase sees Noboru with ultra blond hair in the street…is totally confused.
I was too lol

Noboru introduces himself as Ryu….the youngest twin.
‘Ryu’ was wearing really tight trousers… that’s what I took from this scene.

Hayase meets Ryu again and again in the same bar….where they get totally smashed, as you do.
We see flashbacks of Ryu and Noboru’s childhood, where Ryu gives his brother a camera and asks him to take pictures of all the beautiful things in the world and show him.

The moment we find out that Ryu and Noboru are actually the same person is when Noboru cuts his finger…then runs out the save the same cat Ryu found.
It finally clicks with Hayase (and me)
He asks Noboru why he was pretending to be Ryu,,,,Noboru says “i’m not….I said i’m not!” and runs off…dropping his phone, he gets a call from his mum, Hayase answers….he finds out Ryu died.
We see flashbacks of young Noboru coming home seeing his brother with …his girlfriend (?) is a very… compromising position..

Noboru gets mad…runs off….Ryu runs after him…and gets hit by a car 😦
The same thing nearly happens to Hayase…! But its all good, Noboru saves him…yay!
The car didnt even slow down for either of them! Terrible…
Noboru and Hayase have an emotional moment ^^

~

It was a really good movie!
Takumi Saito is undeniably hot.
(He also played Noeru in Boys Boys Love….btw, and Ryunosuke Kawai played Shiji in Ai no Kotodama 2)

Such a cute ending!
My favourite part was when Noboru threatens Hayase with a knife 😀

I rate:
6/10
