Faithful Adaptation, Acting Could Have Been Better
As a fan of the manga prior to watching this, I appreciate the accuracy and how they covered the entire story. The music was a little bit generic, but nice. The weakest part of the film was Takeo's actor—he was pretty bad... but the strongest part was Sawa's actress, her performance was perfect for the role, it felt like the comic character had come to life. I felt emotional watching this because the manga emotionally resonated with me a lot when I was younger, I just wish Kasuga's actor had been different! Also, I thought that Aya's actor and arc could have been a bit better, too, but all of the scenes with Sawa were golden and her actress carried the film.Was this review helpful to you?
