Despite all the disclaimers and notices stating that it's gonna hurt , I eventually watched it on a saturday night alone :')

I guess I wanted to challenge myself not to cry no matter what but ... I guess you can tell what happened. I literally cried my balls out for the last 30 minutes nonstop. It's been so long since I sobbed so loud when crying, to the point that I lost breath! (Yes it's this serious)


Indeed all the actors did great but my hat goes off to Tooru especially. I cried for him. It's true, that the story is about Hino but it was Tooru who struggled the most. He is the pitiful one. The poor guy didn't have a single happy day in his life and when Hino came in it, things were starting to change and we would see a glimpse of hope but hey how would the writers and director make me cry then :')

I knew it since the first scene in the film, that Tooru won't be around anymore! but throughout the movie, I begged for them to "save" him! However, it won't be called a plot twist this way. Yes! It was a plot twist (though I won't call it that way for me because I was expecting it). Because you would get immersed in Hino's story that you won't notice what's coming.

My heart ached for Tooru not Hino.
Nonetheless, I loved the movie!

Just a small advice: don't watch it on a working day, your eyes will be puffy next morning :)

I rated the "Rewatch value" low because I WON'T watch it again! don't wanna cry my heart out again! NEVER!
