    Nothing is what it seems
    It's hard to give reviews for this movie without giving any spoilers. So I just want to congratulate the director and script writer for doing such an excellent job. They made a very good movie, taking the audience into one side and then making a hard turn on the last part of movie.

    Atsuko Maeda plays as Mayu-chan, an adorable yet somewhat fragile girl, who fell in love with a nerd she called Takkun. Audience would surely fall in love with this kind of protagonist, I sure did, and for the second part of the movie, we even take her side more, cause we want to protect her from all harms and hardships that she have to endure. But don't give up just yet, cause the last 10 minutes would surely blown your mind away!
