This is far too silly of a movie to deserve me waxing poetic about it...

But I will anyway, lol.

This movie is goofy yet charming in all the best ways. Haruna is so incredibly awkward, and gosh, do I relate too much. She doesn't know how to dress, she doesn't know how to talk to boys, and she's so damn eager you can see it from the moon. Yoh is her complete opposite, the straight man in their comedy duo, and their dynamic is a lot of fun. The hijinks that the characters (mainly Haruna and Yoh) end up in are shoujo manga cliche's that play out both hilariously and teen-angst swoony here. And the movie is very clearly adapted from a manga as not a lot of effort is made to translate the story to screen in a way that is believable and realistic. No, when they decided to make this movie, they also decided to go all in on the manga's silliness. And I'm honestly here for it.

Since first watching this movie (because I've obviously watched it more than once at this point, duh), I've also read the original manga. The first half is every bit as goofy yet charming as this movie. Sadly, the second half of the manga devolves a bit as the female leads behavior becomes a little grating, so if you don't think you could handle her character for longer than this movie, I wouldn't suggest reading the manga it's based on.

I 100% recommend this movie, even if you've already seen it and don't like it. How can you hate a character that's so eagerly awkward? You can't, that's how.

no es mi tipo de comedia

no me gusta para nada cuando todo parece sacado directo del anime 😭 me ha pasado antes y he dejado de ver series/películas por eso
no me gusta la comedia física ni exagerada pero aún así soporte ver 1 hora de la película (me faltaron 30 min porque la abandone antes de que acabara)

pensé que sería una película más dramática y seria, no pensé que se inclinaría mucho por la comedia...
aunque no me gusta ese tipo de comedia en momentos sentí que se ponían un poquito serios, me gustó mucho que el chico no fuera un estúpido, en realidad nunca quiso cambiar a la protagonista y fue por eso mismo que se terminó enamorando de ella

me hubiera encantado que fuera un poquitito más seria y la hubiera amado pq los protagonistas si me gustaron
