Synopsis: Well-meaning, but socially awkward, Sawako Kuronuma (Mikako Tabe) is nicknamed "Sadako" by her classmates because of her similar hair cut with the main character from the horror movie "Ringu". Her life then takes a turn when Shota Kazehaya (Haruma Miura), the most popular boy in school, falls for her ...
Sawako Kuronuma has a gloomy appearance and, because of this, is nicknamed "Sadako" by her peers. On the other hand, her personality is bright and caring. Her favorite motto is "do one good thing once a day," but she cares too much about others and cannot express her thoughts. This has made her somewhat of an outcast at school.
Shota Kazehaya (Haruma Miura) is classmates with Sawako. Unlike Sawako, he is outgoing and popular with all the students. He is even polite with Sawako, which makes Sawako respect him and even admire him.
Meanwhile, Kazehaya has special feelings towards Sawako. He notices the look of respect that Sawako gives to him and suppresses his own feelings for her. With help from Kazehaya, Sawako gets better at interacting with her classmates and even makes friends with Chizuru Yoshida (Misako Renbutsu) & Ayane Yano (Natsuna Watanabe ).
This is a happy moment for Sawako as she has friends now that she can talk freely with. But, a strange rumor of her relationship with Chizuru dampens her joy. With the advice of Kazehaya, Sawako is able to maintain her friendships and, in fact, their friendship becomes stronger. Now being able to express her feelings to her friends, Sawako realizes she has special feelings for Kazehaya. During this time, a cute girl named Ume Kurumizawa (Mirei Kiritani), who has been friends with Kazehaya since middle school, appears in front of Sawako and confesses her feelings for Kazahaya and asks for her help ...(from asianwiki)
Review: Okay let me just clarify that I have never watched the anime nor have I read the manga before watching this movie. I honestly liked it. Although it kind of felt rushed in some parts but I found it really interesting. This movie made me cry because of the two main leads. I don't know why but their connection is just so touching to me ;_; Yes, I'm weak T-T I love how they got the cast to look a lot like the characters from the manga (I started reading it after I saw it so that's how I know). I give them props for that. The movie is funny,cute, heart warming and at times kind of odd xD
Should you watch it? After reading many other reviews about this movie, I found that most of the viewers that already read the manga or seen the anime before are quite disappointed on how the movie turned out. I guess I can see it from their point of view since I've watched live action adaptations before from my favorite animes/mangas. But don't let that stop you from watching it! Especially if you never watched the anime or read the manga, Its still a good movie! ;D And if you have read it or watched the anime before, don't expect it to be too perfect but its still a nice adaptation of it so why not give it a try? :D
