REVIEW
A light, shojo manga based movie about mentally damaging the person you love until they love you back. Sounds like it a very interesting psychological thriller but it's not. Instead, it's a high school romance themed story with very simple characters and a fast pace progression.
The main characters have one strong characteristic each to set the important detail of their relationship and the supporting characters are just plot devices to make the love progress and to make it easier for the viewer to understand the situation. Their dialogue consists mainly of remarks towards the main leads or their romance. They never talk about anything else.
Without any parallell story telling or character development, this romance goes from A to Z with mild conflict, and light skin ship, reaching no further than to some hand holding, hugging and a fake kiss.
WHY 2/10?
Most shojo manga movie adaptions set the quality bar pretty low but even so, this movie did not do that well in it's own genre. I occasionally enjoy some romance with light conflict as it doesn't drag out misunderstandings until I throw up in frustration but I will probably never watch this again because it's actually a very boring film. The characters don't have personalities, developments or depth. There are no parallell stories to build on the characters relationships and the progression was quite fast paced and unfulfilling.
To be a bit on the extreme, if we think about this realistically this could be taken as encouragement of mental abuse because it supposedly makes one stronger.... which is not true. This kind of mental abuse is not something a person snaps out of and gains self esteem from. It's something that brainwashes a person until they get therapeutic help that can go on for an eternity and even then, the person will occasionally consider their existence unneeded.
But if you're the kind of person who enjoys light, shojo manga adaptations with light conflict then I hope you ENJOY!!
