"A Werewolf Boy" was my first tearjerker. Both movies have gone into my collection of movies that make you cry. They are both beautiful, everything the guy did he did for the girl, and it makes you long for men like that to have in life although Koizora was based off the writers real experience. I would definitely suggest making a "Movies that make Me cry" collection with these 2 as the first to.
The story centers on a girl who is told she only has six months to live. In the spring of her first year of high school, she confessed to a boy who is in the same class, even though it's their first time meeting. The two gradually grow closer as lovers, and on her birthday, they go to see the 'Strawberry Moon', which is said to be a time when you will be forever bound to the person you love if you watch it together.
This is a love story about Ogawa Manami, a high school teacher who grew up in a strict family, and Kaworu, a host who is not good at reading and writing, as they search for love despite the obstacles they face. Manami is being pressured to marry a man she met through her father's introduction, and the high school where she works is also facing a crisis of class collapse. She spends her days lamenting, "I want to run away from this place." One day, she receives a call saying that a student has been deceived by an unscrupulous host, and she rushes to the store to bring the female student back, where she meets Kaworu. Kaworu has to sign a promissory note promising not to contact the student in the future, and Manami finds out about the problem that he had kept secret from anyone until then. In the play, the two gradually become closer through Manami's secret "private lessons," in which she teaches Kaworu about language and society.

Chizuru, a typical Japanese young female office worker, is socially clumsy, poor at romance and unhappy with her job. Being weary from a busy and stressful city life, she seriously desires to end her life somewhere faraway from the city and leaves for deep in the mountains, where she finds one lonely house. Then she attempts to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills in the guest house but she fails... This is the beginning of her new life.
Both are touching but beautiful love stories and both makes you cry a river over them. Both are school romance, but as you can see in Koizora they are not the fun kind of romance, they include "heavy romance". Kou Kou Kyoushi was even heavier. In my opinion, Kou Kou Kyoushi was unforgettable and better than Koizora. So you should see it before you die.
