About this deal

i first read this book because the movie adaptation is played by micchi and rikoㅡand i ended up loving this!

The novel has been adapted into a Japanese live-action film as of last year, although that doesn’t appear to be available in English at the time of writing. Author Misaki Ichijo has also written a sequel following Izumi titled Even If These Tears Disappear Tonight, which Yen Press are due to release in May. A movie about treasuring each day no matter what. I hope I'm not too biased in writing this review just because I'm a fan of Micchi (Michieda Shunsuke) but I just think that this movie is really good. Even just from watching the trailer, it has greatly piqued my interest. At first, the plot reminded me of the series One Week Friends, where the girl also had amnesia, except her memories reset each week instead. this is definitely not mindblowing oh-so-amazing piece of literature out there. the storyline is cliche and predictable. but does it take away my enjoyment? absolutely not! i enjoyed my time reading this book and i feel connection with the characters. this book make me feel something: love, happiness, sadness. a very heartwarming, yet sad story.However, Tooru was unaware of a significant problem. Maori was suffering from a disease called anterograde amnesia, which caused her to forget everything that happened each day when she went to sleep.

The story revolves around a young man named Tooru Kamiya, who asked Maori Hino to go on a date with him to protect his friend Shimokawa from school bullies. This was the condition set by the bullies to stop harassing Shimokawa. Unexpectedly, Maori agreed to go on a date, and eventually, they became fake couples. But she had three conditions: first, they would not talk until after school; second, their interactions had to be brief; and third, he couldn't fall in love with her.This review probably doesn't make much sense (I apologize), but the story itself is confusing to explain. Throughout the book, the pov switches between the two of them, and there are many timeskips, which usually really bothers me because it makes the story so much more confusing, but in this story, it works because it explains why certain events happened the way they did. Tooru agrees to these conditions, assuming at first that Maori simply wants to enjoy pretend dating and has reasons of her own for having a fake boyfriend. The two begin spending their days together after school and our protagonist soon realises he has fallen for Maori and works up the courage to tell her, but the truth behind Maori setting the rules she did is revealed and shatters Tooru’s world.

Don't worry I won't spoil anything especially the plot because it's more enjoyable when you know nothing. You're welcome. The start of the movie greatly hints on what eventually happens later in the movie, which is something that I didn't really like but I guess that's what made me want to continue watching it even more. And with how Toru and Maori's relationship started, you'd think it's a typical "fake dating" trope, but in my opinion, it wasn't, their chemistry didn't feel forced and it really looked like they enjoyed each other's company. It was painful still, because for Maori, she was meeting this stranger for the first time everyday and she always had to put up a front. The part that I really liked was from the point when Toru found out about her illness, because at this point, Toru had actually fallen in love with Maori and despite knowing that she forgets him everyday, he was determined to make her everyday fun. One of my favorite lines in this movie was when Toru was talking to his sister about Maori, when he said "When there are fun things written in her diary, it would be nice if when she reads it, she'd be able to look forward to everyday, even if just for a bit.", my heart hurt a bit when I heard him say that but at the same time, I felt so much respect for this character. The cast is perfect, especially the trio. They reprised the role perfectly. I don't think I should talk about both main leads, they did perfectly, a really cute couple. But I don't expect much from Izumi-chan yet she "stole" the show. Finally someone do justice to the couple's friend lolWith so much to portray, the pace of the movie is just right. It allows the viewer to feel each emotion in depth and very stealthily transitions to the next one. The movie starts with empathy for all 3 characters in different ways, goes on to boost serotonin (with hints of despair) and then breaks everything down towards the end. All jokes aside, Even If This Love Disappears Tonight is a predictable book from start to finish. It hits all the notes of a sentimental teen love story to an almost clinical degree. Although it does have a satisfying ending that lives up to the themes of the story, the road to it is full of shallow characterization and contrivances that don't even make much symbolic sense; they exist merely to set up the inevitable tragic scenario.

Saya memiliki amnesia anterograde, dan saya lupa hal -hal ketika saya tidur di malam hari. Segala sesuatu yang terjadi dalam sehari”. Kenangan dan pengalamannya diatur ulang setiap hari, dan dia menuliskan peristiwa hari itu dalam buku harian dan bangun pagi -pagi untuk meninjau mereka agar ingatannya tetap hidup. Tooru dikhususkan untuk membawakannya sebanyak mungkin kebahagiaan. Namun, kehidupan sehari -hari seperti itu tidak bertahan lama. Apa “rencana” yang telah dirancang Tooru untuk melindungi kebahagiaan Maori? Klimaks yang mengamuk dan kelembutan yang rapuh akan membungkus dunia dengan air mata hangat sekali lagi. Toru Kamiya makes a heartfelt confession to her, she informs him that she has a disease. When she wakes up, her disease causes her to have no memory of the day before. She keeps a diary of what happened the day before and reads it in the morning to be able to recall her memories. Toru Kamiya decides to bring to her as many happy days as possible.If you like bittersweet teen romances like I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and Your Lie in April, then Even If This Love Disappears Tonight may appeal to you, but this one is firmly middling in its genre due to its weak setup. This is definitely one of those stories where the strength of the concept is meant to override the flaws in the execution and storytelling, but the hurdles were too steep for me this time. Even if it were to disappear from my memory tonight, I won't be making an effort to remember this one. The story explores whether Maori, a person who couldn't form memories, could develop romantic feelings. It wasn't just a love story but also a tale of friendship and family. The side story was also good. Tooru's father, a frustrated writer, and his sister Sanae, a novelist, added depth to the narrative. And despite its brevity, the friendship between Tooru and Shimokawa was heartwarming, as was the friendship between Maori's best friend, Izumi Wataya, and Tooru. As for the characters, they are very well portrayed by the actor and actresses. The female lead looks like most of the time (90%)"Momo of Twice" and (on some angle)"Mina of twice". I also like how the characters has only a few clothing to use for the movie. As it emulates the realistic way of how people dress up on multiple times when seeing with friends and acquitances.
