In real life, decisions are often not easy. Each option has it own pluses and minuses and we can't know all the consequences until long after we've made the decision. This movie explores that sort of vagueness. Specially, it explores the inner turmoil of whether to tell a painful truth which is likely to hurt someone, or hide it, hope for the best, but suffer unpredictable repercussions. Ultimately, whichever way we pick, we may end up with the same result.

I really enjoyed the acting / directing in the expression of emotions through face and body language. The Japanese script delivers loads of familiar nostalgia. The music is a little less interesting than average and the script lacks gradual character development, and instead delivers whatever character development it carries in the last episode. Fumiya seems a little fuller character than Ritsu which I think is more of a problem with the script/story than the acting. Anyway, an engaging watch. Especially for those of us who remember the confusion and miscommunication in our first relationships.
