I have a recommendation for you
This was a small budget film, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but I do think that if you're looking for an adapted manga J Drama you'll be better served by seeing Cherry Magic, which came out the same year:https://kisskh.at/69463-30sai-made-doteida-to-mahotsukai-ni-narerurashiIt handles the struggle to understand someones feelings and the evolution into closeness with them with a great deal of elegance and humour.
I'm not saying "Don't watch this" because if you like Japanese comedies this fits into that. But it feels dated already in 2024. Cherry Magic doesn't.

The platonic ideal of fantasy-tinged rom com
They get every single aspect right.Cast flawlessly, beautifully executed both on screen and behind the camera, and packed with moments of beauty and heartbreak and growth and friendship and heart pounding romance. If you watch no other dramas, watch this.
I would die for Fujisaki. Kurosawa's huge fragile heart destroys me. Adachi slowly waking up to the world is the very definition of hope. Seriously, this is the one. Look no further.
