"Reaching You"

If you've never watched a Japanese live-action drama before (or any Asian drama for that matter), the first hurdle you'll have to overcome is how cheesy they can be at times. There will also a bit of an East meets West culture clash going on if you're unfamiliar with Asian mannerisms, which anime can ease you into but can't truly prepare you for the "real" thing. For a live-action adaptation of a manga, it's basically the next best thing though.

* Warning: Contains spoilers, so you may want to refrain from reading if you don't read the manga or watch the anime. If you do, you're fine.

"Confession"

The penultimate climax of the series delivers in spades, albeit in a way I wasn't really expecting. In other words, Sawako has made her first step into womanhood.

Dear Sawako,Between your lovely innocence and crazy knack for understanding the small things yet not the big picture, your immaculate ability to create funnies under a thick atmosphere is quite admirable.
