The Review

This movie is a good example of excellent adaptation, from cult manga, to popular TV series and now an on-screen spin-off.

It was excellently done, the cast and crew did wonders to follow closely to the manga and followup of the TV series development.

There were humor, it was quirky and and story is well-written.

Oh by the way do stay until the end.

The Good

• A feel-good movie
• Juri Ueno was adorable as the girlfriend

The Bad

• Can be a tad too much of cuteness for some
• The subtitle missed out few key scenes, could be better
