Ashida Mana
I am a big fun of Tsujimura Mizuki-san. I am so glad that I could be part of my favorite story, but at the same time it still seems unbelievable.
When I first read the original novel, I was around the same age as the protagonist and other characters, and thought how they spoke for us that well.
After reading it again as I grew older, their honest and pure feelings certainly remind me of something. It is one of the characteristics of the works by Tsujimura-san that connects adults and children.
I hope both young people as Kokoro and older adults enjoy the film.
