So yeah I just watched it last night. First off, i'd like to say that Kazuki, the main girl character, really looked like Rainie Yang sometimes. And the boy, Haruyama, he may not be one of the typical flower boys i've seen on some japanese movies, but trust me he's hot! He sometimes remind me of Dongwoo from Infinite or Shinee's Jonghyun, IDK why. And let me remind you guys this is my first movie review so pls bear with me. x o x o

Thanks to this movie I woke up like a panda! My eyes are so heavy from crying last night. At first I really thought this movie's boring cuz i really can't understand Kazuki. I thought she has a psychological problem, rly. She barely talks and she's too innocent and she hates her mother. But then I realized, she's in mid-school so she's in adolescence stage and is lack of attention. And then tada! Here comes Haruyama! The leader of the motorcycle gang, The Nights. I dont know if they rly meant "knights". Well, he's really not the leader until Tooru passed his throne to Haru. It's very sudden how they became a couple but it doesn't matter. What matter is how they loved each other.

Kazuki ran away from her mother and lived with Hiroko, Tooru's girlfriend but then Hiroko disappeared with Tooru so Kazuki now lived with Haru. And later on Haru helped Kazuki to go back to her mom. And she now (kinda) accepts Suzuki, her mom's lover. At first, Haru rly thought of Kazuki as just one of his girls but she's too pure. He can't even lay a hand on her. Like Kazuki said, when they started living together Haru is always kinda busy but it's really because he's conscious about her. How cute! And then the night came when The Nights and the enemy gang must meet for their glorious fight, Kazuki showed up at Haru's house not rly knowing about the fight. Haru asked her to buy a drink and then he left to fight. I really thought, he would die because of the fight, but there's no fight happened that night.

Since Haru's late, The Nights got caught by the police and when Haru goes to them he saw the police and he U-turned and then bam! He got hit by a big truck. He flew 5 meters away. He's not dead yet but he suffered a lot of injuries and the doctor said they should be prepared for what would happen next. While Haru is in the hospital fighting for life, here's Kazuki not eating and talking and cuz of that she was also hospitalized. But well, Haru regained consciousness! Haru's younger brother scolded Kazuki that his brother said that he doesn't wanna die because of her. (I'm glad he's willing to live because of Kazuki.) She remembered what Suzuki told her that her life is important to Haru too and then realized her mistake and endlessly asked for forgiveness. Later on, Haru got discharged from the hospital but his left arm and leg are now paralyzed. In the end of the movie, we found out that Hiroko and Tooru will have a baby soon and they're living a new life. Kazuki also pursued her studies and Haruyama's still can't walk better but he got back to his work.

The End.
I'll give this movie 3 thumbs up
