I have a good cry on this

Its a Japanese sad romance film. Very heartfelt and touching movie it brings the "Fault In Our Stars" movie vibe by giving us hope. I know that theya re both have hopeless journey in their battles but they find ways to be hopeful and be happy in their own simple ways. One is afraid in dying and the other one is looking forward to see heaven but when the FL meet the ML she make fondness of him and makes him feel that he has a special place in her heart and she felt she was special and gives her to be afraid of losing him. They both find ways to make memorable moments that they may treasure. They make sure they make special efforts to make sure that they brings joy to the both of them. They know that they feel loved with each other but had no chance on saying it. When the FL is gone the ML felt bad and sad for it but instead continue in fighting for his battle. Long enough he knew that the FL was making him special in her heart by seeing her last post on socmed the real symbol of the 3 stem of Gerberas. He was happy to know that he makes the FL feel special before she was gone. And not so long ago the ML has also is gone, he is gone happy for he knew that he makes the FL happy he feels happy and content with it.

a beautiful but heart wrenching story

This was a beautiful movie. Tho the story was predictable but there's a part of me hoping that they will get better and live together. But here I am crying like an idiot 😭😭

This had me crying at 3 am. I'm so sad because they didn't even get the chance to confess their feelings to each other in person AAHH they deserve so much better !! The fact that she pretended not to know about him being sick 😭 The letter she posted just for him and the 3 gerberas !! PLS THAT SCENE TOOK ME OUT. They're literally meant for each other because wdym even the dates of their deaths are the same ?! The fact that she called his name for the last time but he was not there 😭😭 PLEASE MY HEART IS ACHING FOR THE BOTH OF THEM. Well, I hope that they can watch the fireworks together, draw & paint each other, and marry each other in another life :) Ayuka was the witness to their pure love for each other <3

For those who are reading this: Don't lose hope. Life may be hard but it won't always be cruel. Even if you might think that ending everything is the only option, there is still hope. There are people who genuinely care about you. You're not alone ! I'm rooting for your happy life that is full of love <33

Sweet, heartwrenching story

Went in knowing it was a sad movie but wow I did not expect it to be such a tearjerker.

The story is unbelievably portrayed phenomenally, and whilst it isn’t complex, it really plays with your emotions. The cinematography and ost added a lot to the movie and made it even emotional.

Ren Nagase and Natsuki Deguchi played their roles so well that I can heavily feel the emotions they portrayed.

While there is a lot to be wanted from their story, I think the movie did a fantastic job as is. They were each other’s hero’s.

There is more focus on their emotions rather than the typical visual romance and I really love that.

I definitely have more appreciation for flowers as sentimental gifts - especially for gerberas after watching this movie.

The ending is one of my favorite aspects and favorite side character.

Cliches done right

No unnecessary drama, no convoluted plots. Just a beautiful story led by great characters and good story telling. Bring tissues, you have been warned.

It's a sad movie done right. Brought to you by the same screen writer as I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Story has multiple emotional scenes that were portrayed brilliantly by the main cast that draw you in from the first scene. While it does not have any twists or shock value it pulls on the viewers heart strings and reminds us how precious every second of our lives are.

A melancholic yet powerful message ?

I absolutely LOVED this film! I was hesitant at first since this was my first j-drama, but I don’t regret this being my first at all. It was heartfelt, youthful, and I continued to support the two main characters throughout their struggles/happiest moments. There were so many clues and hints that were foreshadowed which ultimately led to such a strong yet sorrowful ending. However, I feel that both found solace and comfort within each other and I would recommend if you like a first-love trope!

wonderful

I cried the whole time.
The thing is starting this movie you already know what to expect but we still love to make ourselves cry for some reason— I’m in a daze it was a beautiful world that they created in just a two hour film. It was heartwarming and sad at the same time I’m filled with emotions lol. I don’t have any complaints I just want to grab my dog and hug her like a teddy bear now. I love natsuki so I anticipated this release so much and I loved it I’d definitely watch it again it felt like a comfort film♡

My second favorite after Even if these love disappear from the world tonight

I really like how Akito went from giving up on life itself to him trying to maximise the time he lives after interacting with Haruna, not really common that both protag dies at the end of the movie but it was done well.

I am glad Akito had Miura to take care of him, love him till the very end of his life, just like how he did for Haruna.

its a regret Akito didn't managed to see Haruna for the last time

Sidenote: I love how Suis from Yorushika sings my top 2 J-romance's theme song. 若者のすべて and 左右盲 are great songs

The best thing about this movie is its title. The second best is the emotion it occasionally evokes, especially in the final shot. Beyond that, it suffers from the same issues I have with every Japanese adaptation of a novel—the tired presentation of inner monologues. This happens in anime too. The acting is average, the colors are sometimes so saturated that they look like a TikTok edit, and the plot is filled with clichés, making it predictable at every turn.

A Beautifully Shot Romantic Journey.

The story is a bit cliché with many predictable romantic elements. It’s similar to animes like I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and reminded me of Anohana and other slow-burn series. While it shares similarities with other shows, it introduces enough unique elements to feel fresh and enjoyable . The acting is excellent, and the cinematography is beautifully shot, with a memorable main cast. It also strongly supports a theme with a positive message that I thought was delivered excellently.
