    A fine piece of work that, though small, leaves an unforgettable aftertaste.
    A love story based on a short novel of the same title by Kinjo Kazunori, known for his works such as GO, and directed by Mori Junichi, who made his directorial debut with Laundry. Originally produced as part of WOWOW's original TV drama series "drama W," it was exceptionally well received after its airing and was released in theaters. The sensitive and pure storytelling, the many effective locations, and the fine performances by beautiful men and women, especially Konishi Manami's convincing performance. The result is a fine film with a fantastical sentiment that leaves an unforgettable aftertaste despite its small size. The result is a fine piece of work that, though small, leaves an unforgettable aftertaste.
