  It's sad to say that this wasn't a good movie. Based on a manga that was cute and lovely, the film failed to keep up and it turned out to be a weak love story. I don't know if someone who hasn't read the manga will get the story, but as it was almost identical with the manga's plot, it wasn't hard to keep up. So, this is the story: a girl gets into a school club with her best friend. The club is not really popular, but it has some useful notes of some important subjects of their classes. Plus the two guys running it are very easy going. Eventually, the girl falls in love with one of them. However, the boy is himself in love with a girl who used to be in the club as well and now is in university. That girl keeps showing up, making it hard for him to forget her. Okay, so the story is basically about a girl who has a one-sided love with a guy who himself has a one-sided love with another girl. It might have been a nice love story, if it wasn't so badly presented by the movie. Plus, the performances were weak, especially by the leading lady, whom I would like her to have been a bit more "energetic". So, 2 out of 10.
