p.s. major spoilers coming up.
this movie is too cute. too cute and realistic. Aoi and Sakai, despite the age difference has chemistry and are too cute together. there's no awkwardness. and i like it that they made it as normal as possible. i mean there's the kissing and cuddling like other couples do.
the way they tackled the issue on depression is also good. well, for me. the way Mikio's mood swings from really high to low, his loss of appetite, losing hope, feeling useless, suicidal. and how his wifey handled it. she was ashamed at first and then there were times that she loses it too. it really is about acceptance.
i like it how they did not make it too dramatic. i lost it when Haru's drawings came to life. lols.

My Ratings: i'll give this 8.5/10
