Storyline slow, boring, and not really flowing. Chemistry between the leads was non-existent. Well, just when you think things are gonna get somewhere, it all goes flat again. I really didn't get the point of this movie at all. I didn't feel like it brought me or took me anywhere.

The movie starts off with Hinata and Yoriko starting to date. And because she likes Hinata, she tells him, that she is an otaku - to be exact, a fujoshi otaku, meaning someone who loves shonen ai. He accepts that fact, because he loves his girl and even starts to try to get into the stuff she likes, just because he wants to be close to her.

Now, this story sometimes made me feel really close with the main girl. Even though I'm totally not a fujoshi otaku, I'm a different kind of otaku and I could feel how she always thought that he must be unhappy with a "freak" like her. So I totally loved watching him try to make her feel less creepy by actually playing with her, as good as he could. It made me feel like there are actually some guys out there, who might be able to do the same for me. ;)

But somehow, the movie felt a little empty. He was cute, she was funny, the chemistry between them was nice! But they suddenly turned the rom-com into a little drama, and that totally didn't fit. Especially, since it seemed like it was only the main girl who wanted everything to be the way she imagined it to be, instead of talking with her boyfriend... I can't complain about the ending and the part before the big drama, but I still had to deduct a lot of stars because of that. It wouldn't be bad for a 10 epsiodes drama, but for such a short movie, it took up too much time.

So, if you expect a touching movie, then look for something else. If you want a cute main guy and a nice movie without having to think much, then this is right. Yes, and if you like boys love, you'll also get your share in this movie! I laughed a lot during the fun times, so this movie gets 3*.
