The renewed interest in the 90s comes with a few upsides. One of them is that some forgotten films are finding their way into the spotlight again. Case in point: Hiroki's Forever with You. For a completist like myself, it's nice to finally plug some important gaps in Hiroki's oeuvre.
This is another one of his works smoothing over the gap between his early pinku films and the (edgy) millennium dramas that cemented his reputation. The pinku structure is still present and feels a little limiting, but Hiroki is already working hard to break free from it and deliver something with a bit more flair and depth. A decent film, but little more than a stepping stone to some of his later gems.
