This was a lovely movie. I've watched the anime version of it so I had really high expectations. Although I was not necessarily wowed, I was rather pleased with the final product. The casting was chosen nicely. Matsuyama Kenichi is a capable actor and fits nicely into the role of an introvert, capable ''nephew'' and new father/guardian to a little girl. However, the real star of the movie is definitely the young Ashida Mana as Kaga Rin. Her acting was wonderful and monumental, particularly for her young age. She was absolutely the right choice for this role. I loved the entire cast. The story was interesting, but as I said before nothing awe-inspiring. I'd maybe watched again in some years.  I liked it so I would recommend it. I would also recommend the anime version and also the manga, mainly if you want to see the ending and what happens to the character after the finish of this drama and also anime. My only complaint is that I would have loved for the drama to explore the additional content of the drama and continue the story, rather than end at where it ended. It truly felt a bit unfinished. Otherwise, it is a decent movie.

Saruman likes!
