I would say it is definitely better than the two prequel episodes. I watched it much more willingly and I also felt that Nana's acting was better.
Compared to the prequel episodes, she has undoubtedly gained a little more self-confidence, although she is still not at the same level as in the manga.
But I reiterate the fact that Yuu still does pretty much what she did in the two prequel episodes, that is, she does whatever Kuro tells her to do, when she could say no or at least complain. Needless to say, the manga is much better.
Kazi is a big softie ^^
Although it was enjoyable to watch, I'm still convinced that I'm too old for this kind of thing, and I'm not talking about the cheesy scenes, but the kids acting like adults like this. I mean, even in the manga they are high school students, however, who knows why, that is less jarring... maybe it's the way they are drawn.
Being an adaptation and a movie, obviously many things from the main story were cut out. Like the fight between Meiko and Yuu, the sports festival, the school festival, etc. etc.
Regarding the character of Suzune (who does not appear in this film, but is only mentioned), I take back what I wrote in the previous review: she was an unnecessary addition, did not serve the purpose of the plot, and I will always wonder why they were there to do such a thing.
They really sped up the falling in love process between Yuu and Kuro. However, one thing I really appreciated was that the rivalry between Kuro and Shirakawa was felt quite a bit: his discomfort, his feeling inferior to Kuro and so on.
All in all, it is still a film that I would rewatch if I had nothing better to do and only if I had nostalgia for it.
