This adaptation for the big screen of the hit drama (itself an adaptation of the hit manga) is pure charm. The entire cast shines in portraying a tale of grown up love and companionship (the fact that it's of the same sex kind it's almost marginal, so is the naturalness with which it is told).

Highly recommended.

Nicely done series episode by episode.
