Such a brilliant film! Definitely do yourself a favor & watch it. It's a beautiful story, with lovely characters, & honestly unbelievably gorgeous artwork & animation. As others said in the reviews I love how it depicts a healthy relationship between two males without it being exaggerated or over-sexualized as often happens in anime. I just wish it was a bit longer. For those also wondering where it can be watched, I found it on Funimation in the USA. Though I'm sure you could find copies online for free please try to watch it through a service & support these types of films! It's made by a pretty new animation studio called Blue Lynx out of Japan that's specializing in Yaoi/BL... So excited to see more of their work & more films/shows like this being made!

I don't think i can use words to describe the feelings that i got watching this movie . The aesthetics are out of this world , their love is so pure , everything is dreamlike .

Even though the story was a bit fast paced with the sudden time skips, I really enjoyed it. Really nice and realistic situations of lgbtq community. The art and animation was really aesthetic and visually pleasing. Highly recommended<33.

Incredible story of gay love. Since there is not a lot of representation for LGBT in my favorite genre (Anime) I seek out all shows that have Queer characters. This particular anime is very different from usual BL/Yaoi shows/manga its a story that hits home for a lot of queer people especially those coming into adulthood. This show will make you feel every type of emotion just like a real 1st relationship does happiness, sadness, fear, anxiety, excitement and if you are looking for a good cry session this is it. Nothing more beautiful than a 1st love story, recommend to everyone not just lgbt family but straight audiences should view as well 10/10.

Despite most animes and movies where gay couples are mostly limited to their sexual lifestyle and boosting wrong stereotypes about them (for example: junjou romantica), in this movie we can find a romantic and sensitive relationship between mio and shun that leaves behind damaging labels for people like me who have a cuople from their own sex.
The plot is pretty basic, and many things felt random, like shun's 'fiancee' comming out of nowhere. I personally think that they could have done something better, specially with the character development, which i felt quite rushed. However, the artstyle is wonderful and the setting is beautiful as well.
It's not bad, but it could have been way better. I would say it deserves a chance since the charapters are lovely and so is the art.
