I like Yano's reply to Takahashi when he's off to Tokyo ----- "I've been living so I could meet you. It wasn't a plus cancelling out the minus. The plus was greater than minus" ----- so sweet :)

The story in this movie is a bit different with manga and anime, yea you know, duration, in manga there were 70 chapter and 26 episodes of anime. The plot in the movie isn't really detail so I think people who haven't read or watched anime version would a bit confuse with the fast plot. But that's ok, overall this movie is nice to watch, sweet love story~ and Toma offcourse *laugh*

Manga and anime version, I've watched them all.
At first I interested with Obata Yuki's drawing, and finally Toma end  up (??) play the movie!
LUCKY! I'm happily watching it!!
