You want to ugly cry then this is the drama for you. If you have background knowledge of this story you know about the emotional roller coaster it's about to take you on. I came to this movie with the knowledge of the first part of the manga and I heard rumors of a sad ending, but knowing me I am like who cares I feel like crying today, well was I wrong. I couldn't even probably watch the movie due to the feelings it was giving me. Even though I completely love this movie I wouldn't watch it again because my weak butt could never be that sad again. Honestly, don't let this stop you from watching it is a great story about true love and puts love through scary situations but testing to see if it was true or not.

Not gonna lie this movie was a lot!

I did mostly watch Sky of Love for the Mr. Miura Haruma because I really like his acting. I loved the very very beginning of the movie because it was going so great but I didn’t expect it to escalate as it did at all. Like the rollercoaster hit a LOT of bumps in this movie. Life got hard in the movie real quick. I can say I really liked the emotional and sentimental things that happened because it taught me things about life that I didn’t really think about. It may have been a sad and stressful movie but I’m glad a watched it. Overall the movie wasn’t bad it’s just a lot to take in.

I know my thoughts are scattered everywhere but do watch the film it was good even if it is painful.

I found this film good but of course not every body will have the same reaction to it.
There are things I don't like about it (teen pregnancy, rape, those who raped her not being caught) but the good outweighs the bad.
I know this can all happen in reality, plus it was supposed to be based on a true story, so it has happened already.

Some may say that it is too cliche or it is very unrealistic, but I guess that's how they are in Japan. Cultural differences. If it doesn't happen to you it doesn't mean it cannot really happen.

SO BEAUTIFUL!

When I first started watching this I was not expecting what was coming. I randomly watched this long ago, and I just wanted some cute romantic story. Oh boy, that I found myself a complete rollercoaster of emotions instead! (And I'm glad tbh) I loved absolutely everything about this story, it was your typical bad boy-good girl story (and we all very fond of those). Plus, the fact that I just found out that this movie was based on a true story makes me bald my eyes out. Truly heartbreaking. It will definitely leave an impression on you and make you some type of way for some time just to gather your emotions.

Missing you, Miura Haruma.

This is one of my favorite Japanese Movie. I re watched it a couple of times though it's a tear jerker kind of movie, I love it coz of Miura's great acting! I remember when I first watch it, I had a "last drama syndrome" which it took me a couple of days to move on. I cried so much! I really want to watch this movie again...I want to watch his dramas and other movies again....but I don't know if my heart can take it. I miss Haruma so much. It's been a year now and I still can't believe it. He is one of the best Japanese Actor that I adore! Long live, Haruma!

I think a movie has never got to me as this one. The cast was lovely, especially Haruma Miura. The movie is also based on a true story, so i think everyone can relate to it. Get ready for a box of tissues, because this drama will make you cry :')



This was perfect and it just shows that first loves will always remain special in your heart, no matter what.

I decided to watch this movie bc the main boy has bleached hair (anime boys with white hair fangirling). Although, the movie is 2 h, I don't regret it. I cried so much. It's not fair how things turned out, but still it was very enjoyable.
Also, I'm not fan of love movies, so I'm not really sure how to rate the story, so I jus went with ten bc i guess it's original, kind and sad. It has everything, right? Maybe. Idk, sorry.
But watch it!

I should of listened to the reviews! You'll be crying like a baby! Have tissue ready ( AND LOTS OF IT) It's a really good movie and the acting was amazing! The part that made me cry the most was that everything was based on a true story. I recommend everyone who's considering watching this to watch it. I would never re-watch it because I cried so much it made my head hurt! Peace and love! -xxkalaxx

Una tempesta di disgrazie che si abbatte su un melodramma adolescenziale esagerato ed eccessivo

Film giapponese del 2007 - noto anche come “Koizora” – che trasmette un impressione forte e contrastante, un po' come l'amore di cui racconta. Mi ha coinvolta così tanto da farmi piangere, ma al tempo stesso l’ho trovato incredibilmente precipitoso e surreale, al punto da da essere stata tentata più volte di abbandonarlo. Un risultato che è uno strano e insolito mix, per quanto mi riguarda.

La vicenda ruota attorno all'amore adolescenziale tra la dolce e timida Mika e Hiro, un ragazzo dai capelli ossigenati e dall'aria ribelle, incontrato quasi per caso grazie a un cellulare perso. In un attimo si passa dalle vicissitudini spensierate tra i banchi di scuola alle realtà più amare, dando così il via a una montagna russa emotiva, dove le lacrime – ahimè – prevalgono.
Nonostante una buona prova di recitazione da parte di entrambi i protagonisti – tra i due lei è stata comunque quella più convincente – sulla pellicola grava un importante limite, dato da una sceneggiatura decisa a caricarsi di un quantitativo assurdo di elementi tragici, inseriti a ritmo serrato e spesso contestualizzati in modo non adeguato. La nota che stona: occorre tenere sempre ben presente che siamo al primo anno di liceo, la giovane età dei protagonisti – che la costante presenza dei banchi di scuola non manca mai di sottolineare – sembra stridere con buona parte delle tematiche drammatiche che vanno ad ammassarsi. Si parte da una ragazza che – con le compagne di scuola – sogna il primo amore, e in un attimo si ritrova coinvolta in un corteggiamento a distanza – complice lo smarrimento del cellulare – che si traduce in poi in una coppia di fatto che consuma subito il primo rapporto sessuale. Un’evoluzione brusca, ma tutto sommato ancora credibile. A questa poi si aggiunge però un’aggressione con tanto di stupro, dettata da futili motivi (la gelosia dell’ex ragazza), a cui non fa nemmeno seguito una doverosa denuncia. Tutto viene minimizzato e per certi versi quasi normalizzato (la sorella di Hiro archivia la questione con un “ci sono passata anche io”). In men che non si dica, Mika e Hiro riprenderanno la loro relazione come se niente fosse, tant’è che da un rapporto intimo in biblioteca ci scapperà pure il bambino. Abbiamo a che fare con due giovanissimi adolescenti, ma che si atteggiano come fossero adulti e si confrontano con le proprie famiglie come se l’evento - certo non voluto di proposito – non fosse però nemmeno tanto fuori dall’ordinario. Nella realtà, due quindicenni sarebbero semplicemente terrorizzati dalla situazione, siamo onesti. L’aborto provocato dalla ragazza di Hiro, comparsa ancora una volta dal nulla, rende la situazione complessivamente sempre più assurda. Hiro poi prenderà inspiegabilmente le distanze da Mika, lasciandola e flirtando con altre ragazze. Lei a quel punto, col cuore a pezzi, si rifarà una vita con un altro e troncheranno ogni rapporto fino a quando Mika scoprirà della malattia terminale di Hiro, motivo alla base del suo comportamento passato. Lascerà il fidanzato per correre da Hiro e gli starà accanto fino alla fine, con la promessa di vivere una vita piena e felice, e di conservare l’esperienza preziosa di quel primo e grandissimo amore, travolgente come un fiume.

La velocità con la quale vengono inserite tante tematiche così importanti e la mancanza di tempo per affrontarle e approfondirle con coerenza le fa suonare banali, in certi casi anche poco rispettose. Sono consapevole del taglio inusuale che spesso hanno i film giapponesi e della chiave di letture che serve per interpretarli a dovere, ma qui si è andati davvero un po’ troppo oltre per riuscire ad apprezzarne l’intento.

Nonostante non mi senta di consigliarlo particolarmente già che narrativamente lascia molto a desiderare, mi ha stupita l’essermi comunque commossa – e anche molto – in un paio di passaggi.

Una historia cargada de drama que no es para todo el mundo.

🌸¡Hola, muchachada!🌸 Esta reseña fue escrita en conjunto con una de mis amigas.

El último día antes de las vacaciones de verano, Mika pierde su celular solo para encontrarlo un tiempo después con todos los contactos borrados a excepción de uno: el del chico que encontró su teléfono y que ahora no para de llamarla.
Poco a poco, Mika empieza a enamorarse de este chico misterioso que se niega a decirle su nombre... y es que Hiro no tiene muy buena reputación en la escuela.
Así, ellos se involucran en una relación que termina por traerles muchos problemas y mucho drama.

Trigger warning: En esta película se tocan temas delicados como lo son el bullying, el abuso, el embarazo adolescente y un largo etcétera. Sabemos que algunos pueden tomarse esto como un spoiler, pero más vale prevenir que lamentar.

Ahora bien, la historia no fue para nada lo que esperábamos, ya que en Mydramalist dicen muy poco sobre ella, lo que nos dio una idea errónea. Las dos esperábamos una linda historia de amor con un final triste y nos terminaron dando una trama cargada de personajes con actitudes cuestionables y con más drama que las novelas de la tarde, cosa que no necesariamente es algo malo.

Si bien muchas cosas nos hicieron ruido y en más de una ocasión quisimos darle vuelta la cara a Hiro de un cachetazo, los personajes nos parecieron muy bien construidos. Los seguimos, los queremos, los dejamos engañarnos, los odiamos, los perdonamos y hasta lloramos con ellos...

Además, todo dentro de la historia que nos cuentan sigue cierta lógica y, aunque en muchas ocasiones no vemos bien ciertas reacciones o formas de actuar, las pudimos entender dentro del contexto. Incluso cuando decimos que hay un exceso de drama, que lo hay, no sentimos que estuviera mal manejado.

Las actuaciones no son sobresalientes, pero están bastante bien (ver a Haruma en este personaje hace doler el cora). La música también es buena y, en general, la producción nos gustó.
En definitiva, es una película sólida y disfrutable que no creemos que sea para cualquiera, ya que la trama es un poco "complicada".

Esta película definitivamente es memorable para mí. La vi hace tiempo ya pero me acuerdo perfectamente de las emociones que me hizo sentir cuando la vi por primera vez.

Me gusta el desarrollo que tiene Hiro, igualmente la superación de Mika, pero creo que faltaron unos buenos personajes secundarios que ayuden a los protagonistas con sus problemas, que tuvieron que cargarlos por años ellos solos. Es un problema común la inmadurez y falta de comunicación en una pareja de la edad de ambos pero, en un tema tan complejo como lo es el de Hiro, me parece que fue un conflicto muy, muy, inflado de drama.

Por otro lado, excelente la segunda mitad de la película. Me dejó nuevamente el mensaje de "Uno no sabe lo que tiene hasta que lo pierde." pero en este caso, ya era demasiado tarde. ¿El final pudo haber cambiado si ambos tomaban mejores decisiones? Quién sabe. Es tan agridulce, pero me gustó mucho. Pude acompañar a Mika en el sentimiento porque esperé un milagro hasta el último segundo.

**spoiler**
Tuve dos personas importantísimas para mí que tuvieron cáncer también. Una se salvó, pero la otra no. Realmente es una montaña rusa el ilusionarse con que todo va a salir bien y al rato el deprimirse dando todo por perdido. Pude revivir esas emociones gracias a esta película.
