I liked the manga, and the anime. Now also this film adaption. But with all of these adaptions I utterly hate how the story just looses it's potential. The direction it goes in is not what I wish for. It left me feeling like some core aspects are lacking. I wished for more confrontation and more of a resolution. I would have wished for the series to go deeper. I would have rather had the girl exploring falling in love in another her age, than just nothing happening at all with her current older one. It felt like the author wanted to stay respectful and not create anything indecent. Which I do appreciate in some sense. But there should still be some depth.
