Like a miracle, Kosuke and Mao meets at the working place 10 years after their graduation. Those two were classmates in the Middle School and they were each other’s first love.

They falls in love again and have great time together.

However, Mao is dying day by day. She hasn’t got much time left. They can do nothing, they only can appreciate every seconds, that can be with each other.

This film is full of lovely scenes. It has typical Japanese films’ blurred and pink-toned scenes, which I fancy. I can sense spring in it. This scene show how much they love each other so effectively as well. Every clips of the actors look so adorable that even I feel like I fell in love.

It may seem like there is no differences with other love stories, but that Mao’s secret, which is quite related with the saying: “Cat has nine lives”, made this film quite different from other normal love stories and added more dream-like mood.
