Ever heard of a disease that prevents you to reach puberty? This doesn't make sense, does it? Well, it was, when I haven't watched a movie called "Tada Kimi wo Aishiteru."
At first I thought, "She seems cheerful and all. How come that disease doesn't seem to affect her at all?" Japanese movies sometimes are hard to understand. You really need to watch carefully to see what's wrong.

The story revolves around a college student named Makoto, whose majors is photography.
He looks very timid but he's actually the hardworker type. He's pretty typical. He have friends. He have someone he likes. It's just that, he lack too much excitement in his life. Well, not until he met Shizuru. At first he seem to be reluctant around her, but as time goes, he was slowly dragged by her pace.
Shizuru, an easy go lucky person, also majoring in photography. She always took pictures of things that would make her professor go LOKO. But no one knows that her talent just needs a little push. She doesn't have friends because everybody thinks that she's weird. Makoto is not an exception, He also thought Shizuru was a bit weird.
Their countless coincidental meetings brought them closer to each other. Shizuru's quite the agressive one between them. She drags Makoto into trespassing stuffs, sharing kisses for photography's sake, and LIVING TOGETHER?
But wait, something's wrong with Shizuru. She actaully jokes about having a disease that prohibits her to love or else she'll eventually die. That's partly correct. If she does fall in love, she'll definately reach her puberty. Once she does, the disease will soon deteriorate her body. It seems to run in their family. That's as far as I know. But Makoto took it as a joke, just what Shizuru wanted. To hide the truth, Shizuru migrated to NY. She left Makoto after letting him fall for her. Makoto doesn't have a single clue of what Shizuru's conditions is. He continually receives letters from Shizuru. So he concluded that Shizuru is still doing photography.
But not every love story has its happy ending. Makoto flew to NY just to find out that Shizuru is long dead. He went to see Shizuru's photo gallery. There he saw a grown up Shizuru for the first time. It was actually taken for Makoto to see how much she has grown.
That's how it ended. It so sad, I cried my heart out. It's a great movie.
This was a novel by Takuji Ichikawa-sensei.
Converted into script for the screenplay by Kenji Bando-san.
And directed by Takehiko Shinjo-san.
Thanks for reading! Please watch the movie! Its worth your time.
