Both FLs are extremely introverted and withdrawn and have distinctive long bangs/hair that they hide behind at the beginning. They begin to come out of their shell after interacting with the ML. Both films have a school setting.
Well-meaning but socially awkward, Kuronuma Sawako is nicknamed "Sadako" by her high school classmates because of her similar hair style with the main character from the horror movie "Ring." She doesn't have friends and goes about her day in quiet. She admires a fellow classmate, Kazehaya Shota, because of his easy-going and friendly nature, but unknown to her, Kazehaya has also been paying attention to her.
This time ML is sick not FL. I watched in movie/dramas mostly FL is sick. In this movie FL was a very plain & simple girl but it make her attractive to the most popular guy in her school & he try to approach her. Actually ML got a secret that he can't tell anyone that he is sick. Such a cute sad love story with spectacular cast. A must watch movie if you like tearjerker movie/drama.
