...in first instance I was thinking to not watch this movie; you know, most of these ones are for teenagers or like that but in this case is worth the time spent it. -Its about friendship with strong values. Also, the storyline is wrong about this guy that cannot meet a gal because he is not handsome; in fact in the movie most do not have girlfriends or luck with the girls; only one is the "fortunate" (the same stupidity in some teenager girls to pop/movie idols) and this guy is very appreciated in the high school, so not an unpopular character but may be not so polished in his manners (a la Samurai way)

He is a good heart fella and always is trying to help no matter the circumstances. He put the best face to adverse conditions keeping the true good spirit high (this is something important in Japan)

The guy is a bit naif and lack of confidence so from the start he thought that all the story revolves around his partner, the handsome/cool guy; that by the way is a great guy too.

-The acting is a bit over acted and of course the movie has plenty of the clichés of the genre but still is good to watch; have less sugar than a Hollywood movie and a fresh approach so is more a 6 than a 5 (a good movie)
