Koizora - were you happy?


"Koizora" is a love story that was originally published on the popular cell phone site Mahou no iRando. It was authored by new writer Mika, and is based on her own experiences. The story was released in book form last October, selling more than a million copies in its first month.
The story revolves around Mika (named after the author), who falls in love with her classmate, Hiroki, upon entering high school. But over the course of the novel, she ends up suffering through many trials, such as rape, abortion, and betrayal.

Since I heard of this movie and watched the trailer, I was patiently waiting for the DVD release, but I was able to find it on the Internet, and I watched it today. This is an incredible story, and I really want to read the novel itself. This is a love story, but not the usual one, but a higher quality. This is a story you shouldn't miss out, this is something you really will cry on. A story that tells how sweet a love could be, as much as how painful it can be.

The description isn't so complete and doesn't explain the movie that good, but it's the one I found in English by Tokyograph. Search for better reviews and descriptions.

This is the year's must-watch movie, I strongly recommend it.
The actors are brilliant, and the story makes it all. What more could you ask for?
