A simple story that moves nicely through its leads’ interactions.
Was not expecting much (apart from the Ruki-biased lens I was wearing for the trailers) but this turned out to be one of the best coming of age romances I’ve seen in a while.The film is pretty dialogue-heavy. Though majority of Akane-Seiji’s relationship happened through conversations, it still felt like it grew naturally and they “showed more than they told”. The film’s cinematography and scoring lent a lot to that achievement.
I loved the subtle changes made to the source material. The additional subtexts allowed them to weave certain elements more seamlessly.
(E.g., color grading and key scenes mirroring Seiji’s art preferences; “Plot-twist” ties closely to Akane’s arc.)
Overall, it’s the type of film that will probably make you feel differently every time, as you discover something new each watch.

a beautiful movie!
The story is so good, I loved how it showed the beauty of the colors and the sky.The main leads are so perfect! Ruki and Rinka did so well!
and their chemistry is so good, they're so cute!
Rinka kumada is a good actress fr! She’s so pretty and simple. She potrayed akane well.
Ruki shiroiwa is so handsome! I can’t imagine anyone else being seiji. He totally slayed! I want to see actor ruki more.
Overall, I learned a lot from this movie.
The movie is so aesthetics. The songs are so beautiful. The story is so good and I unexpectedly teared up.
Everything about this movie is so beautiful. Just watch "you made my dawn", a masterpiece!
my new comfort movie ^^

Simple and cute love story with an unexpected twist
It started off as him saying he hates her. At first i thought it was weird for him to say that without any context maybe because it was just the start.After that, it was easy for me to understand the story. Its nit your typical cutesy fluff love story but it was angst with a hint of cuteness. I like how it can be relatable at some point. The overall message that this movie was trying to tell was clear.
No matter how hard it is, you have a decision over your own life. It was really cute how she changed his world and he changed hers. I really enjoyed it and thats why i gave it a high rating. Maybe to some, this is too much or a slow burn or not your kind of movie to enjoy but this is an excellent movie.

Gosh the chemistryyy
I really do not expect that much from this movie but dang! What did they two do to my weak heart? Watching them play all along, walking, talking, laughing together so intimately make me feel SSSSOOOOO SINGLE. The last time I felt like this was with When I Fly Towards You. But nah this couple fr have their chemistry even just by their eye contact.Don't watch this when you're single. Just kidding. There's not a lot of angst. The angst is kinda cute tho, cause Akane is actually just an innocent girl who wants to be free lol.
It's kinda slowburn in the first half but ended up sooo good, I'm so satisfied. The pretty colors made the cinematography so lovely. Will probs rewatch it when I need to color my life lol.
Definitely recommended esp for everyone who likes arts and paintings. Don't forget about the cute plot-twist cause it's kinda shocked me a lil bit tho. Just watch this masterpiece asap.

When the dawn breaks, i'll be the first to see you
This movie was a pleasant surprise. I knew nothing about it, but I loved the simple and fresh story of two young people who help each other overcome their fears. The film had a compelling narrative, exceptional cinematography, and music.It is a youth movie about Akane, a girl who hides her feelings with a fake smile, and Seiji, a carefree boy who is kind, firm, and loves drawing the sky. They become close when Seiji helps Akane with their school festival and learns her secret.
The final part reveals why Seiji liked Akane, and it was beautiful. I also loved how the movie showed the beauty of colors and the sky, like a moment of youth.
Even though this story is common, it is still enjoyable and warm.

simple yet charming
i didn’t expect much as i started watching mostly because of Ruki, but the movie turned out to be very good. slow pacing with interesting characters i emphasized with easily. loved the main character and obviously loved the “love interest” played by Ruki.the soundtrack and the cinematography in this one were absolutely amazing! i had a pleasure watching the movie aesthetic-wise. the plot isn’t that much unique but it’s entertaining to watch so i had i good time. will definitely rewatch this one again!
(kinda hoped for the characters to end up together but we got what we got. y’all know how japanese movies are, haha)

The music and the visuals are sooo incredibly beautiful :00
The colours and music used fits so wellllThe pacing was sooo well done although it did feel a little rushed closer to the end when they were explaining their backstories but it did return back to normal at the very end! :D (I think it's still amazing despite that)
There was not as many fluffy romantic moments as I thought(I would've given 10/10 if there was) but the interactions the 2 main characters had with each other made up for it, no cliche moments and they were all written so nicely :o
Overall, I loved it!!!

Um filme simples que deixa nossos corações quentinhos
a meu ver, a prota, ao longo de sua jornada, devido alguns eventos, desenvolveu transtorno de ansiedade e sua máscara era a barreira que ela encontrou de esconder seus traumas, evitando gatilhos e camuflando sua dor. Passou a aguentar todos os fardos sozinhas, trazendo a solidão como principal consequencia. O protagonista em tantos momentos quebra essa barreira construída, sendo um pouco duro, contudo, necessário, pra faze-la sair dessa zona de conforto. Apesar de ser uma zona cômoda, a feria mais que a protegia, e ele via isso. Seiji um dos poucos protagonistas com tanta coragem e dedicação, antes do amor, ajudar verdadeiramente a Akane.O meu único sincero desejo é que existe uma continuação ): e claro, não diminuindo em nada a beleza desse filme!

"Eu te odeio!"
Seiji Fukagawa e Akane Niwa são estudante do ensino médio e da mesma classe. Um dia, do nada, ele diz que a odeia, e Akane fica encomodada com a situação. Há uma grande diferença entre eles: Seiji é muito talentoso na pintura, seus colegas ouvem o que ele diz e seguem suas instruções; já Akane, apesar de ser representante de turma, precisa se esforçar um pouco para que seus colegas de classe prestem atenção nela, pois se esconde através de uma máscara - literalmente.Apesar das provações de Seiji, ele acaba a ajudando em uma apresentação, e é assim que ambos se aproximam. Akane tem a oportunidade de perguntar porque ele a odeia tanto, e Seiji percebe que há coisas das quais ele não tem conhecimento que a impedem de ser ela mesma.
Apesar de parecer que muitos dos filmes japoneses que são ambientados no ensino médio tem a mesma premissa, eu sempre acho que o olhar asiático para as questões juvenis são super válidos. Afinal foi isso que mais me encantou nas produções orientais. O leste asiático, principalmente o Japão e a China, veem com muito carinho e sensibilidade essa fase da vida que geralmente vem cheia de percalços.
E em "You Made My Dawn" temos dois jovens com dores infantis não super superadas, e é de uma delicadeza impressionante. Seiji e Akane estão vivendo a vida no automático, e esse encontro de almas vira uma chave que dá luz e cor em ambos. Adorei o final também, dá um quentinho no coração ao ver como os personagens estão vivendo em sua total plenitude.

J'ai adoré comment Akane et Seiji ont tous les deux changés la vie de l'autre. L'évolution que l'autre a créé dans leur propre vie. Et il faut dire que les différentes peintures de Seiji sont tout simplement magnifiques ! Mais s'il y a une chose que je regrette de ce film ? La fin. Comme bien souvent, j'aurais aimé en voir un peu plus, plutôt que de rester sur une fin plus 'ouverte'.....
