I'm just randomly searching a video related in Aiko Iwamura..then I found this cute movie. I thought she's part of this movie but anyways It's a terrific movie so I try to find the pics first. When I first saw the pic of this movie I thought it was a korean film. And, it looks like a horror film to me(look at that first picture) but it's a quirky movie I really love it. I love the way they film this movie and the settings are so beautiful, very good job!

The story is about two girls that will near
become a high school student. While on their way to school Alice develops a crush on a random stranger at the train station, she offers her best friend, Hana, to the other guy (Masashi) who is with the stranger that Alice likes. Hana declines, but soon she develops a liking to Masashi. Hana begins to stalk him as they ride the same train throughout the winter. Spring finally comes, Hana and Alice enter high school. Hana joins the story telling club after learning Masashi is also a member. Once again Hana secretly follows him on his way home, and she witnesses Masashi crashing on a garage door. After he has awoken, Hana is panicking "Senpai~ Are you okay?!".
Masashi is still unconscious, he cant see Hana clearly so he ask who is she. At first Hana is still worrying in her senpai but she realized that she can use that scene to make Masashi her boyfriend. Hana said to her senpai that he got an amnesia that's why he forgot about their relationship. Hana still insist that Masashi said "I love you" when he confessed to her. Hana and Masashi begin to date, though their entire relationship is based on Hana's lie. Hana keeps on lying to Masashi so he can still be her boyfriend. Eventually, Alice is wrapped up in Hana's lie, playing the part of Masashi's ex-girlfriend. Through a subsequent series of events, a subtle love triangle develops between Hana, Alice, and Masashi!
