This movie was beautifully constructed, and I loved everything from the storyline to the animation. Although it seems like a cliche shoujo story the animation and dialogue compensate for that. I love how although the plot is the unnatural relationship between a 15-year-old student and a teacher, this movie definitely strives to be a child-friendly movie. There are no kissing or dramatised scenes; just purely human feelings from which we can all relate to and cry about. I really liked the bittersweet ending but some viewers might find it a bad ending.
