Koizora / Sky of Love Japanese Movie DVD - NTSC all region with English subtitle (Adapted from Best selling mobile novel)

This movie is very sweet and moving, about a love that starts in freshman year in high school, between an innocent girl and the schools' tough guy, and he's a player too. He sees her in the hallway, falls instantly in love, and never looks back, never again looks at another girl.This is not a mystery, so this is not a spoiler: she has a miscarriage, and what's probably unusually different about this boy is that he mourns the loss of their baby as much or more than she does.As another reviewer said, she was the victim of a gang rape, but I didn't see this as gratis at all. It addressed a sad and all-too-common problem with relationships after a rape, and that is, that far too many men cannot be with their wives or girlfriends again after a rape. But this boy never wavered for even a moment. I believe that rape was included in the story as a test of his love, and he passed with flying colors---othewise, this love story would have been moving anyway, but not nearly as powerful.He fiercely protected her from school bullying over this, and when she told him she was no longer afraid, he immediately made love to her. What I'm saying is, he showed her his love in every way possible, including with his body, and I don't think that's a little thing. It helped lift this high school story from a "love ya 'til I die" kind of thing into a deep and serious committment.Worth every cent and more.Of course there is more to this story than this. Give it a try, you might like it too.This paragraph is a later addition to my original review, because I've just re-read the other reviews and feel I'd like to to express my feelings about something someone else wrote: I don't think this movie is appropriate for children, because there are two scenes that make it obvious the couple is having sex. It's not pornographic, there's no nudity, but definitely kissing, then they are in the bed (covered up)and he's on top of her making sexual movements. The second sex scene is on the school library floor, he removes her outer clothing and moves down on top of her. Again, this is not nude or pornographic, but it's extremely obvious what they are doing.I personally would not show this to children. I went into some detail here, so that at least you could know that maybe you should watch first by yourself before you make a decision about kids, or even young teenagers. Also---the gang rape-they do show the boys throwing her down on the ground and overpowering her, then fade-out. It's not as graphic as the scenes between the lovers, but if you show it to kids, you'll have to explain it. The kids are going to want to know what just happened. Just thought you should not be misled.Even later addition: I hardly ever do this because I don't like to detract from the video at hand, but-you must see this actor in "Last Cinderella"!

Arrived on time and in good condition

This movie was a pleasure to watch. The story revolves around the love story of Hiro and Mika. I will not spoil the ending, but I almost cried. This movie is similar to "A Walk to Remember", "A Millionaire's First Love", and "My Girl and I". If you have seen any of these movies than I think you know where the movie is headed. This movie overall has brilliant acting and a beautiful story that will likely bring you to tears. If you're a fan of romance movies or Japanese movies, this is a must-watch!

after a long time i really cried because of this movie!really good actors - better than in the show!okay - the "love" scenes are really .... so also kids can watch this movie.but the story and the rest is really great and for cold winter days, sitting on the sofa with a pillow and a hot tea - fantastic! love it! and not only for us girls!:)

Very good movie. Sad

My daughter has wanted this movie for a long time and we are so pleased to have found it through Amazon. This is a beautiful Japanese drama that is definitely worth the purchase. Very much a tearjerker, but a heartwarming and wonderful story. The acting was superb and we definitely felt able to empathize with the characters. Beautifully done movie all around.

The movie arrived fast! No problems! Just perfect

Tender ill-fated love story beautifully done.
