still the best version
This one has a special place in my heart. I remember watching it before even knowing it was based on an anime/manga, and I’ve always preferred this version. Its beautiful cinematography, quiet pacing, scenery, and the natural chemistry between the cast especially Haruma and Mikako bring it to life. The soundtrack and visual direction also creates a soft, thoughtful aesthetic that lingers with you. Even with newer adaptations, this one still stands above the rest.
