My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

OMMMGGGG!i’ve been waiting forever to do this one! I totally love this movie!
Okay, I am a little bit biased….why?? Because I am completely in love with Rakuto Tochihara, ever since I saw him in RH Plus and One Missed Call 3…I’ve been a Tochihara Fangirl. It’s shameful, I know. But have you seen that man?! Ah he’s wonderful.
So you have been warned this part might not be 100% unbiased.

They are both really good actors! Really very talented. However, I think that they weren’t able to show off their talents in this film, which was a shame really. I hate to compare films, but I have seen a lot of BL films and to me the interactions between the two guys felt a little awkward. I did find the kiss between them – when Kurata invites himself to Tozaki’s place….well…it wasn’t the best kiss I’ve seen
…I think more practice is needed /winks/

Usually I really don’t like the guy/girl who gets in between the perfect couple, but i didn’t hate Kazuomi…he was pretty cool,  and you could tell that he really does care about Tozaki.
I mean, sure, I was screaming at him when he tried to kiss him but, hey, the guy likes him! And Tozaki stopped him, so….no harm done!

Speaking of Tozaki, he isn’t the usual weak uke that we see soooooo often in BL movies, I find that so refreshing! That makes me love this movie so much more!
Sure, he allows himself to get pushed around a bit by Kurata, but when he was accusing Tozaki of things he didn’t do…he totally yelled at Kurata and stormed off. I LOVED IT!!!
No one accuses Tozaki of doing things he didn’t do *sassy finger snap*

Although we do have the usual boys love element: Jealousy.
O where would we be without this fundamental element.
But all is good in the end, don’t worry!

Speaking of which, the ending was so lovely. The role reversal: with Kurata waiting for Tozaki….that was pure perfection!

Another thing….That little happy giggle Tozaki did when Kurata sent him that text WAS FREAKING ADORABLE!!! And the love bite thing… Oh god I was fighting off a nosebleed.

Okay, I think I’m done with pointing out the good parts. But I really loved this film!!! 
Ah….i just….i cant say anything else ❤

I rate this movie 

10/10

why? 

Because it’s super cute and its actually nearly 85% accurate to the manga – usually when there is a film remake of a manga they either change it completely or cut out the important parts…yeah yeah I know some parts are different but the original storyline is there!

[Oh and i love Rakuto Tochihara.]

If you haven’t seen this movie yet…What are you waiting for?! GO! WATCH IT NOW!
