After hearing about the film being aired at my local cinema I wanted to watch it then I heard it was adapted to the Manga. I held off from watching it and read the entire manga series first. I loved the manga and had incredible expectations!
The animation it self was absolutely as expected and it got me in tears between family, friendship and relationships. Its message of bullying, karma and isolation really had a reflection in life which made me really love this film.
One thing I remember when I stepped out of the cinema with teary eyes was that there were small adaptations to the film which left some character development for other characters and which had some funny panels from the manga I was expecting in the film which never showed because it would of never made sense.
Although the approach to shorten the story from the manga really fit and didn't have any plot holes knowing that they cut out a few things and conflict between characters (but these were still shown).
After reading and watching this. It has been hands down my number 1 and will probably always be my number 1 film/animation.
