A unique premise, which the director forces you to take at face value. It makes for an interesting, but slightly confusing first half hour, as Rino keeps losing the love of her life whenever he falls for her. The film won't leave you completely in the dark, though I feel I would've preferred the mystery intact.
Mikami is spectacular, the setting is lovely (rural Japan during summer), the cinematography is bright and colorful and the romance is original. The film is just a little too frivolous at times and the ending was a little too simple for my liking. There's a lot to love here though, so if you're looking for a sweet and fun romance, this won't disappoint.
