I thought the movie was great, but I just have to wonder where is Hino Yusaku at the one time that Hikaru needs him the most? He doesn't even appear in the movie (unless that was him standing outside the telephone booth.) At the very least he could have served as a punching bag for Hikaru to vent her feelings with. Maybe he was left out so that we get the impression that Hikaru was completely and helplessly abandoned. Much sadder that way. Of course I still haven't seen the sequel, so maybe that will explain what happened to him. If not, I think that it is a very glaring oversight to exclude him, even if the many purpose of his character was for comic relief. He would have been honor-bound to confront Kasuga and try to use the situation to let Hikaru know what kind of guy he really is. I just thought it funny about Hikaru's comment to the twins on how hard it was to found the right guy, when Yusaku was probably trailing along behind her off-screen.
