The story
An ordinary senior high school girl named Mika meets Hiro, a showy boy with dyed hair and pierced ears. It is a "pure love" story of the two going through many unimaginably sad incidents while nurturing their love single-mindedly. It not only depicts the first love of the senior high school couple but also weaves "a story of Mika and Hiro" through episodes probably familiar to anybody, such as warmth and affection of their family members supporting the two, importance of living, interactions with friends, and so on.
What it’s like
Soft, unhurried daylight in school corridors, bicycle-lined streets, and warm family kitchens gives this Japanese high-school drama a gentle, lived-in surface, while the emotional weather darkens steadily toward grief. It is a teen romance told at a slow, sincere pace, where ordinary days with friends and family carry as much weight as the big turns, and the tone moves between tender, bittersweet, and openly tearful. The story concerns a first love between two students that is tested by serious illness and an unplanned pregnancy, so expect sustained sadness, illness and death handled with melodrama rather than graphic detail, and no real violence. It suits a weeknight cry, a comfort-sad rewatch with tissues close by, or a long afternoon for viewers who enjoy earnest, sentimental romance and don't mind being asked to feel a lot. It is less suited to anyone wanting something light or upbeat.
