The story is about a "forbidden" love between a brother (Hideaki Takizawa) and sister (Kyoko Fukada). However, the two are not siblings by blood but rather by marriage. Hideaki's character is extremely shy in the beginning and slowly changes due to Fukada. He continually keeps saying that she is the one person he'll never forget. (It is narrated from a future point of view). It's a pretty entertaining dorama with a great cast.

The main two characters are Hideaki Takizawa and Kyoko Fukada. Their characters are fun, interesting, and beautifully developed.

The story is about the ever asking question of "what if" there was a love between a brother (Hideaki Takizawa) and sister (Kyoko Fukada). They are not brother and sister by blood but by marriage. Can there be search a thing. I don't want to ruin it for you but you have to watch it beside it's an entertaining japanese drama to watch.

This is a very wonderful story, not only the story, but the composition of the music with the film is so nice, and good to hear. I love this film, I've watched this film 7 times, every week I always watch it. This story is very unique, because, it's about love between brother and sister, and also(this is the important part)I like the Kyoko's character in that film, she is so cute and kind.Because of that character, it makes Manato Irie(Hideaki)can't forget her, and make Irie be braver.Once again, i like this story very much.I want to thank for the producer who have made this film.Thank you.If anyone of you have the picture of Kyoko Fukada, you can sent it to me.

Chinese novels about teenagers are either about their painful experience of abortion or a sweet love relationship. They never include how teenagers grow through a meaningful journey that aims to search for their real self and finally achieve maturity. This drama is clearly one of the best in describing that process, since the script was written by one of my favourite screenwriter, Shinji Nojima. In the 90s, he wrote so many scripts talking about teenagers. Therefore, when he was writing this script, he was already skilled.

Takki was one of the most popular Johnny's idol at that time. I'm a huge fan of Majo No Jouken, both in terms of how delicate the script is and how amazingly handsome Takki was in it. He successfully played that role of seducing the main leading female to get out of her normal life, comfort zone. Not all male actors could achieve that.

But this drama is few years after that one. His appearance kind of changed compares to how he was in Majo No Jouken. It either had to do with his makeup or his natural growth. Anyway, it fits into this drama so well.

Manato wasn't that kind of crazily handsome character. He was just a normal high schoolboy. He felt insecure, which represented by his non-prescription glasses. That insecurity might turn into an inferiority complex. That inferiority complex could turn into anger or a "violence". For example, he took out a knife in front of the people who bullied him and shocked everyone.

He wasn't confident at all in terms of love relationships. That's why he at the start, he didn't inform Yui about his feeling towards her, and he wouldn't worry about being a "cherry".

If Manato was performed by that crazily handsome Takki in Majo no jouken, I don't think it would be convincing. It was how sensitive, insecure, not confident he was shaped this character. And I think Takki did a perfect job in this drama.

I like Yui so much. I like her personality, her courage and her confidence. At least from the outside, she was completely different from Manato. In this drama, she was described as the girl who would eat the strawberry directly if she ate the shortcake. That's why she and Manato could cure each other.

I will always remember his speech at his's graduation. He said something like "We were born for love, not for feeling pain".
