Yuuki to me was like seeing my elder sister fighting her illness. Maybe because it is based on a true story, it feels so real. I know that it is hard for the person who is fighting the illness and usually most dramas and movies portray that really well and make us treasure life and we cry at the end of them. However what makes Yuuki truly different is that it shows the struggle of the people around the people who are fighting the illness. First that initial denial of the seriousness of the situation, then the scrutiny that follows. After that it finally draws on you that a trully loved one is going through so much pain and yet there really isn't much you can do for them. You try and keep a happy face, try to support them but as time passes; you see the cheerful person you once knew slowly losing their smile. Yuuki in my opinion honestly covers the ordeals of the people around the sick person perfectly. The acting was just right. It wasn't overly melo or overly bittersweet. I think this was one of Kazuya-chan's best acted characters. Everyone was quite relatable. When someone is sick we tend to think that everyone suddenly starts to care for them 24/7 but the reality is everyone has their own life that they have to live even if it hurts to do so. and that was well expressed in Yuuki. I started crying after the first scene cause all I could think about was my sister. Even though her illness is curable it still hurts us to see her in so much pain and I'm like Hama-chan, trying to pretend everything is fine. It's definitely worth watching, especially if you're feeling down and need a cleanse. Not because it will make you want to treasure life more or anything like that but because you can get a good cry out of it to calm yourself down. "To comprehend the value of one year, just ask the student who failed their entrance exam. To comprehend the value of one month, just ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. To comprehend the value of one week, just ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To comprehend the value of one hour, Just ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To comprehend the value of one minute, just ask the people who missed their stop on the train. To comprehend the value of one second, just ask the person who managed to avoid an accident just in time. To comprehend the value of one tenth of a second, just ask the person who ended up with the silver medal at the olympics. The hands of the clock will continue ticking. Therefore treasure every moment you have. And treat everyday as the utmost gift." ~Yuuki
