Comments: Seems less formal than the way most of these things go. Could be that an American did the English subs; could be the soundtrack; could be the director's touch

Very well played (especially Haruka Imou), and well shot, it's an enjoyable couple hours. The story is a bit shoehorned and ends abruptly on an unearned note, but a lot of what's left out, and even some of the unclear motivations of what's in, make it engaging because that's teenage life. Director Rin Shuto gets that, and gets there


Summary: Ai has had a crush forever on her classmate Tatoe. When she finds out that Tatoe is in a secret relationship with another girl, she sets out to sabotage their plans for the future.
