This Japanese film starring Mikako Tabe and Haruma Miura is a beautiful drama, which is based on a manga.

Mikako plays the character, Sawako Kuronuma, who with her long black hair, is feared by everyone, young and old.

They thought that she looked so much like the scary girl Sadako in real film, The Ring.  Rumours were abound that she brings bad luck, and looking in her eyes for more than 3 minutes would cause you harm, this resulted in her being isolated and thus friendless.

But Sawako is a pure, innocent and a helpful girl who believes in doing good things each day.

One day she noticed a boy who was looking rather lost.  Though she was shy, she kindly told the boy where the school was.

This new boy is Shota Kazehaya, played by Miura Haruma.  He was very good-looking and quite gregarious.

He immediately noticed how lonely and isolated Sawako Kuronuma was and how industrious she was.  He made it his mission to include her into his ‘world’ more.

Eventually Sawako did develop friendships but it was a long road.

This was a lovely film, funny at times especially when the Mikako was made to look like Sadako of the Ring.

There was a good chemistry between Haruma and Mikako.

Totally recommend as a feel good film.  I love this film and it seems I am not alone as it is considered and voted by many netizens to be the most  popular Japanese school theme film.
