Starting with backgrounds that are so dull. It's just classrooms, classrooms and classrooms... the environments are so repetitive that I wouldn't be surprised if they reused the same backgrounds multiple times. Yes, there are a bit more locations than classrooms, but the main setting is very dull.
Honestly, I'm not sure if I even understand this film. I'm not even fully convinced if the relation between the two main characters is an extremely passioned friendship or just plain lesbian romance.
Anyway, the film is totally girly. Conversations like "Do you think she hates me?" is definitely not my thing, and the whole film is all girly talks. They just make up these supposedly "big" problems out of thin air to make some cheap drama when there should be none. I couldn't relate to it at all. The characters are very immature, clearly dependent on each other, no self-respect at all. Their relationships felt way more like a creepy obsession of wanting to be loved than cute or inspiring.
The similarities between the book and the real life relationship has been explained so many times in the film that I don't see how the "big reveal" could be subtle at all. It seems that creators were possibly inspired by Clannad, but took the only thing I really disliked about it.
All in all, I could not find a single thing to like about this film, felt like an empty shell.
