I never portrait myself as a fan of shojo live actions but damn, this movie was epic. I’m a big fan of the manga and when I heard that it was going to get a live action adaptation I was a little bit confused. I wanted Kento Yamazaki as the main actor here and when I read that Masahiro Higashide got the main role I was like “Oh, hell no.” But I was totally wrong and Higashide didn’t Disappoint me. Let’s start with the plot, a pretty common one when it comes to shojo manga. Futaba felt in love with Kou during middle school. After a while, Kou moved to another city and Futaba is left alone. She tried her best to not get hated by her classmates so she acts a little bit like a tomboy to not get noticed by boys. She has fake friends too. But one day she noticed that Kou came back and he has changed, becoming a cold teenage boy. The plot is actually well written and Kou personality really makes girls heart melt down like ice creams. Talking about the characters, they are all perfect. Maybe there are some little differences between the manga and this live action but to be honest, I didn’t dislike them so much. Honda Tsubasa wasn’t the best choice as the main character, according to my opinion. I don’t really like her acting skills but in Enoshima Prism she was quite good so I thought she would do a good job with Futuba. Sad truth, she didn’t. Higashide was the main star here. His acting skills are always on point with the character he is playing. It’s like he isn’t acting at all and when it comes to him it’s a good thing. I still think that Kou character was meant for Kento Yamazaki but Higashide did an amazing job. Some fans said that he was too old to play an high school boy but who cares, I saw 26 years boys playing high school boys perfectly even if they age didn’t match with the character. In the end, I might say that this live action was well done. The only thing I didn’t like about the plot is how they left Toma behind. He was a sweetheart , he didn’t deserved to be treat like shit by Futaba ( yes, I’m a big fan of Toma and a big fan of Chiba Yudai).
