    Impossible not to adore!
    If you are up for something invigorating, refreshing and uplifting... try this! Perfect for anytime!

    Akiko Ohku, as a director - you rule with this piece! What a masterpiece... if you can say that for a rom-com and a late coming of age drama (over 30 years old) hybrid!!!

    What a screenplay written by Risa Wataya - a surreal kicks of wasabi feelings in your brain were constant reminder of the fragility of the main character - almost like living on the edge!

    And acting of Non (previously known as Rena Nounen) just left me speechless. I didn't care what is she involved in the future - I will watch it! That girl has power and has the audience in her palm, holding us tight!

    Unexpectedly great film - and nobody is talking about it?! What is wrong with these people?
