Lovesick Ellie (2024)

weird but also cute?

Okay so this is actually so ridiculous but I some how really also love it?The beginning was very rough but for some reason I kept watching. It was actually pretty cute and I enjoyed it a lot. It’s a very simple story that I think is misunderstood because people will drop it by only watching the beginning.

Synopsis of the story
The story starts off very weird with a what seems to be just a perverted girl who has a hugh crush on the handsome popular guy. She has a social media page that is dedicated to posting fantasies about her and this handsome popular guy. pretty weird start?
*******MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD********
However you see them start to interact with each other in multiple weird but oddly cute scenes. We start to realize throughout that they are just two lonely souls. In the ML case just wants someone to see the real him and like him for who he really is and in the FL case just wants someone to love and to feel seen with. Very simple but heartwarming story that I think is maybe misunderstood. I think this would have done better if it was a 12 episode drama or anime. But plz give it a shot very enjoyable short cute movie?

Adorable Watch

I was anticipating the release of this movie because I’m a huge fan of the manga. Lovesick Ellie tells a hilariously adorable story of high school love and self-discovery. Going into the movie, I knew that many parts of the manga would be cut or changed since it would be impossible to fit it all into a movie adaption. However, I was so happy seeing some of my favorite scenes portrayed in the live-action. There were several changes made in the movie that I felt were unnecessary or kinda felt unnatural to the characters in the manga, so just a warning if you’re watching it expecting it to be a direct adaption of the manga it isn’t quite that. I still really enjoyed the storyline of the movie, and I think the pacing of it was good as it stayed mostly loyal to the manga.
My favorite part of the movie was definitely the casting. I think they really nailed the casting for Ellie and Oumi. Both actors did such a good job in the acting, and I think they were really cute together! I saw some people complaining about the overacting from Ellie, but dramatic and embarrassing reactions is literally Ellie to her core. I wish we got to see more of the side characters, but they did a good job in their limited time. Overall, this was a fun and entertaining watch. It wasn’t as funny as the manga, but if you’re looking for something cute and entertaining I would highly recommend!

You may find it strange but it is charming!

I know people will find it ridiculous but teenage love is full of nonsense and ridiculousness. I really loved the movie!

I was already a big fan of Lovesick Ellie, I really enjoyed the manga so I was looking forward to the movie and it didn't disappoint me at all.

Although it has been several years since I read Lovesick Ellie and I don't remember the entire manga well. They kept the essence of the manga and parts that I liked (I really laughed a lot when Ellie tried to kiss Omi and ended up kissing her neck instead of her lips hahaha).

Omi is not the type of bad boy who mistreats the protagonist to "hide" the secret from her. No, he seems like an interesting person despite his strangeness and more because she sees him as she really is and loves him just as he is.

Many may complain about Ellie's overacting, but Ellie is like that! It's the essence of her and somehow I find it tender. Who hasn't fallen in love and fantasized about her crush? I think everyone has been through that situation. So I identified a lot with Ellie, not only is there the fantasy side of her, but also her side of loneliness and not being able to have friends. So I create her own world on networks, under anonymity, to be happy. Many young people take refuge in social networks when they don't have friends but Ellie is evolving just like Omi.

I actually did it in the past, it's embarrassing but it's a part of my adolescence that I remember fondly.

I also liked the most popular boy in school, I remember seeing him in gymnastics and watching him from a distance because he was really very popular and I used to talk about him a lot with my friends. Somehow he noticed my feelings, although we went at different times and he was a year older than me but we coincided at some times. In a way I also experienced my own shojo manga at that time, because when he played recess and I walked around the schoolyard, he pushed me slowly. We spent a couple of time doing that strange flirting hahaha until one day in gymnastics, while I was sitting in front of his classroom, and he spoke to me. I was as red as a tomato and my heart felt like it was going to burst out. We dated for a long time, but I had to change schools and we lost contact. I understand why Ellie didn't want to tell it, in fact my relationship with him was also like that because I was afraid of what they would say, and I also understand Omi because he was also frustrated by not being able to say that we were dating. But I am very glad that Omi gave her security and protected her.

Today, we talked again after a long time and we remember those moments as something very nostalgic, fun and beautiful. He's already engaged and so am I but we're friends and that's the great thing about adolescence!

The chemistry between Hara and Miyase was really good and they acted very well. That's the most important thing for me! I have had many disappointments with other lives actions because the acting was poor and the chemistry 0. But here it was different and I enjoyed it a lot.

I laughed a lot, I got excited and I was transported back to my adolescence.

The music is beautiful, NiziU gave it that charm and represented the film a lot. The cinematography is beautiful too!

Even though it may cringe you at times, give it a chance, it's worth it!
