A realistic roller coaster

The movie is so well made i can't believe it has such a low rating. It's definitely not for young people that want to only see cringy comedy drama that doesn't even make sense.

Unaware how good this is i was impressed through every scene. No unnecessary parts, no boring conversations and no skips. I was putting off watching this cause the movies scare me after getting used to watching series where episodes are 20 minutes long. But this one was as exciting as it could get. One minute i was sad the other i was laughing out loud then cry then be all happy again.

Ryo Narita portrayed every emotion through every scene very well. Definitely my favorite kind of plot where there is an obsession- like my fav japanese bl "My beautiful Man" they are similar but that one was more naive and innocent but this one was more adult and deep. Very much liked it<3.
