Kyoko, a young woman with an unhindered spirit despite being physically bound to a wheelchair due to illness, and Shuji, a stylish and popular fashion magazine hairstylist, are brought together in a fateful traffic incident. Despite their confrontational meeting, they soon find themselves falling in love, with Shuji drawn to her courage and enthusiasm and Kyoko attracted to his ability to look beyond her physical limitations and into her heart. However, Kyoko's protective older brother and her worsening condition begin to test the bounds of their love for each other and threaten to end their beautiful life together.
Both are touching but beautiful stories and both makes you cry a river over them. Both includes school romance, but as you can see in 1 litre of Tears they are not the fun kind of romance. And both dramas includes "deadly diseases". Kou Kou Kyoushi is also a masterpiece. Don't think too much and just watch it.
