Love it when japanese romance films get it right

Warning: Spoilers
TMI** im currently pmsing so that probably explains why but boy oh boy did i cry a bucket full of tears. I just really love when the japanese romance scene gets it right, enough of the mysterious illnesses guys. This film proves you dont need death to get your audience to cry for the next week. Just create beautiful characters, amazing dialogue and a realistic storyline that we all hope ends up being fairytale like instead. Oh how i loved this film. And i loved both main characters equally, which is why i understood them both equally and i wanted them both to get what they wanted.

SPOILER** i had a thought during the hug towards the end to stop the movie there and pretend that was their reconciliation and they went off and got married, but it was too much of a beautiful story and i thought that would be a disservice so i carried on, and then the goodbye wave broke me. It broke me i tell you, however im so so happy i watched this and ill watch it again next month to re-cry a bucket full of tears.
