I love the manga and anime so I'm very biased about the live-action, however, even if this is your first time hearing or watching "Bokura Ga Ita" ~ you will truly fall in love. The live action is outstanding and is up to par with the anime and manga. So for the followers of BGI - you can't miss the movie. Ikuta Toma made Yano come to life from the pages of manga and more. His smile is contagious. I love him!
