It's important to mention I haven't the read the manga, so I don't have anything to compare this to. As purely a light and fluffy high school rom com, it's good. It's under two hours as well, so it has a decent flow and doesn't really have any boring dips. There's a lot of really great randomness in it as well, which are probably taken from the manga, but I can't confirm that. The level of quirkiness is awesome, such as a class room with a hare statue… long dividing curtains in the school and a main character which doesn't hesitate to plow through people and knock them over. The movie isn't genius, but it's a great weekend movie to lift your mood and give you a dose of innocent young love.
