When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

When I watched it the first time I cried the last 10 minutes because it was reaching its ending and I hadn't had enough of this beautiful relationship. It's "a slow, serious love" - like the author says, and I couldn't be happier about it. This is not necessarily for teen girls or gay males, it portrays a pure love, even though it has boys' point of view, you could change either character for a female and the feeling would still be the same. I love everything about this, except for how short it is, but I just finished all the manga related to the story in 3 days because I couldn't live without more. Perhaps I'm raising the expectations too high, but this deserves my first review since I can't stop thinking about it and had to say something. I hope you like it as much as I did, and watch it as many times as I have. I know the author won't read this, but I want to thank her anyways for bringing all of this joy to my life. <3

I really thought this anime was super super cute with a nerdy shy guy who wants to get ahead with his education Sajo and the bad boy rocker Kusakabe. I mean seriously whenever they both embrace each other, my heart stops and I cant breathe, my inner fangirl was shook lol! Seriously though, this movie just really was wonderful and gives you a good kick outta life no matter how hard it can be! I think both guys were just made for each other, although some scenes I found cringy when the learning support teacher(cant remeber the name) badly wanted to kiss Sajo. Jeez if he was doing that for real, that teacher would lose his job and it wouldn't be a nice punishment either! It was even strange that after Kusakabe thumped him, he became friends with him later on, like really? I would keep away from that creep who is meant to be a teacher, not a love advisor!Anyways I'm glad both Sajo and Kusakabe lived happily ever after! I give this a 9/10 because it was just a sweet gay story!

This is one of the best Shounen Ai movie I have ever watched (and probably my first ever review on IMDb). I am a Living Fujoshi and I have watched/Read many ShounenAi/BL/YAOI Anime and Manga. But this one stands out the most. This is a story of how two high school boys innocently fall in love with each other. The movie covers only the first volume of the series, but it is enough to appease my fujoshi heart (left 3 chapters that are irrelevant, anyway). This Movie got me grinning from ear to ear the whole time. I encourage you to read the manga as well. There is Part/Volume 1 up to Chapter 9 and Part/Volume 2 up to chapter 12.

Characters that exist beyond their relationship and don't need desperately to get laid nor someone to complete themselves, very interesting design and transitions between chapters, with well placed metaphors. This are, for me, the great technical features of the anime - even though the story isn't that unique, it doesn't make the experience of watching it less better.
