TOMA IS FINALLY IN A ROMANTIC MOVIE!! YESSSSSSSS. really cheered me up since the past few days have been horrible (THE election that the whole world is talking about). i've been waiting for him to have a real love story in a movie forever. though the last time he was it was too depressing and sad mostly (Bokura Ga Ita), but hopefully this one will be a lot happier. though it's the same director from bokura ga ita.
i don't have much to say about his co-star. she seems pretty and looks kinda like another actress that i can't remember the name of right now. hopefully she's a good actress. in pics, she looks 18 or maybe in her 20s depending on hair and makeup...

there are pictures of how she and toma will look in the movie at the link above. toma's character is 26, though. why did they make him look older and also kinda creepy/evil?? lol. some people at the arama news article saying it's creepy because in real life and in the manga they have a big age gap. toma is 32 and this actress is 18. in the manga, his character is 26 and she is 17. meh. i don't mind big age gaps (unless the guy is like the age of her dad) and teacher/student love stories. i like forbidden love. lol.
teacher/student love manga and movies seem popular in japan. it is in the united states too. though honestly, i don't see how those relationships would work out. such a big age gap. what would they have in common??

thanks to Ana for telling me toma will be in this movie. and she says she read this manga and liked it. :)
oh, wait. remember Honey and Clover? toma was 23 and riko was 16. or was she 15?? omg, SHE WAS 15!! (people talked about her being 15 here: http://www.d-addicts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=54862&start=405)
i remember them saying she couldn't be on certain tv shows or film past a certain time (or certain number of hours) because she was not an adult yet. though she looks mature for her age and maybe seems more like 16/17, but still... i don't think it was creepy because she looked older than her real age but she was wearing doll-like dresses that made her seem very young so it still kind of bothered me. oh well. in the manga she definitely seemed like a child, so at least the drama version of her was better.
also, at the same tomania facebook link, they shared the trailer for the Mogura No Uta 2 movie! don't think i'll watch it though. ugh. too much screaming, weird faces, and crazy stuff going on... @__@ i think seeing toma making weird faces and screaming gets old fast. and WHY IS HE ALMOST NAKED AGAIN? it's really not that funny even the first time. nevermind the second time.
WOW. I DIDN'T EXPECT TO GET 17 VOTES ALREADY
