You know how a movie can soften the audience on a certain sensitive topic? Well look no further! This is the best anime to soften the hearts of the audience in regard to homosexuality.What I love and adore about it is that it shows the common relationship struggles that we all face but in the life of homosexual's couple. Homosexuality is perfectly normalized. This is how I wish the real world would be in the future. To be honest, the art style did not intrigue me at all at first; however, the storyline portrayed in the trailer won me over! The story is just pure and lovely. There is no big coming out gesture or a huge drama regarding sexuality.

A classical slice of life anime, that has in its stylistic measurement, that never goes over the top, its best quality. It's also short and sweet and it portrays without any big drama a gay teenage love story. Unfortunately, it also feels like it could have been much better and it didn't end up sticking on me too much.

I do not remember a ton about this movie as I watched it in 8th grade but it is very sweet and lovely and a lot less fetishizy than some mlm anime tends to be. The animation is very lovely and the art style is unique and pretty too and I remember liking this movie quite a lot!!

This was so disappointing for me. I was so excited to finally see this movie and it was kind of dull. The start was very cute but the whole thing feels like vignette loosely put together. I would have preferred more of a build up to their feelings. I didn't even understand why they liked each other at the start, it just seemed like "oh we have sang together 3 times, let's date because I love you with all my heart marry me". It was very sudden.

I think if we spent more time seeing why Kusakebe was so infatuated with Sajo. I wanted to feel why they fell for each other and why they meant so much to each other.

Sometimes I think because we are starved of this type of content we will forgive flaws but I just see so much story here that we never got.

When I watched it the first time I cried the last 10 minutes because it was reaching its ending and I hadn't had enough of this beautiful relationship. It's "a slow, serious love" - like the author says, and I couldn't be happier about it. This is not necessarily for teen girls or gay males, it portrays a pure love, even though it has boys' point of view, you could change either character for a female and the feeling would still be the same. I love everything about this, except for how short it is, but I just finished all the manga related to the story in 3 days because I couldn't live without more. Perhaps I'm raising the expectations too high, but this deserves my first review since I can't stop thinking about it and had to say something. I hope you like it as much as I did, and watch it as many times as I have. I know the author won't read this, but I want to thank her anyways for bringing all of this joy to my life. <3
