While somewhat different than Love Story, the same concept applies. This can also be compared to a Nicholas Sparks movie. There were some artistic moments that helped the movie. The love story followed the cycle of a tree. So it bloomed in Spring than slowly died for winter, (good symbolism). I also enjoyed the characters and their acting. The two main characters do well with what seemed to be a pretty simple script. The photos help tell the story. The photos express the love between the characters and Haruto's journey of self discovery for his love of photography. This is a tear jerker for sure, so if you love a good love story than this is the right movie for you. It's about 30 minutes of joy, and an hour and a half of crying so have plenty of tissues nearby.
