I had never heard of this movie or the manga. I just randomly saw it on my plan to watch list and decided to give it a go. The story surprised me in a positive way because it didn't follow the usual BL plot line. I don't know if the illness was well-portrayed because I'm not in a position to evaluate that but it was very endearing and heart-breaking. I also liked both characters and could relate to them. The acting wasn't awkward at all between the main leads, even if they were inexperienced at the time. I really wish there was a second movie because I'd like to know if they end up together or they just stay friends. Either way, I'm not upset^^
The cinematography was really good, in my opinion. Even the title fits the whole rainy atmosphere somehow.
A rather short movie but I certainly don't regret watching it!
