My ratings are based on the movie alone. Story: I am an avid fan of Kanan Minami sensei books and out of all her series, kyou koi was my favorite followed by honey x honey drops. In terms of storyline, yes i have to agree that this is a typical cliche romance love story. Looking at just the movie without comparing against the manga, I have to say the plot for this movie was terrible. It was choppy and stiff. This movie differs slightly from the manga (if not why do you call this a movie) and they only included milestones from the manga. Acting/Cast: I watched this movie not knowing that Emi and Tori were partners in Asuko March and I thought their acting was not bad (I mean compare them to itakiss, theirs is not bad) there was somewhat chemistry but Tori's acting is still quite stiff and same goes to Emi. I love Emi's voice though. When I first watched the movie, I thought Tori wasn't good enough for the role. I mean all fans of 2d characters will want the real life actors to look like the characters and don't ask me why but I felt yamapi was best suited for the role. But never mind, after 10 minutes into the show I was totally swooned by Tori. LOOK AT HIS MOLES IT'S SO CUTE (and I think he looks like the "meaty" version of sato takeru). Music: I have nothing else to say except amazing songs. From scandal to mika nakajima, how can i say this OST is horrible?! I was enjoying every song played in the movie and after I was done, I told myself I need the OST! Rewatch Value: I wouldnt want to rewatch this simply because mostly movie adaption of manga are usually not that good. They tend to remove main parts of the original plot and if u watch the movie alone it tends to get awkward at some parts and the flow is not right. Overall: Generally, you need to read the manga to understand the both of them before you watch the movie. You definitely will compare them at the beginning. After realizing it was different from the manga, I watched the movie alone and i enjoyed it. I read many reviews saying that this movie was terrible/ they did not enjoy it. Yes, that is because they don't read the manga. I enjoyed the movie compared to the horrible ONA but i will not recommend it to someone who is not an otaku.
