Review:

I wasn't impressed by the beginning, it felt more like "Okay, this might be a good movie, and it might not".

Though I really wanted to see how it ended, and I actually was surprised by the ending.

I'm used to these kind of movies, but since it didn't say anything like this in the description, I wasn't prepared.

And it's a good thing, or else this movie wouldn't have been as good as it was.

Makoto is a guy who has a skin disease and thinks that his medicine smells.

Thanks to that he usually wants to be alone.

He's really cute in his behaviour; shy but still can say words correctly.

I really liked him, though he couldn't see his feelings until it was too late.

Hate when that happens...

Shizuru felt a bit childish, but the explanation came in the end.

I admit that I though she was a bit annoying, and her mood could go from very sad to really happy.

Which I felt really confused by, haha.

She's really cute though, and she wasn't afraid of anything.

This movie was nothing as I had expected.

Somehow I always pick these kind of movies without even knowing it.

It was really great though, would never have thought it when I watched the beginning.

It was a cute, sad story that really made me connect with the characters.

This movie is worth four stars out of five.
