How should put this.... The story was just simple but has a very DEEP MEANING. The entire time, I was just smiling and laughing. The story was so ASIAN. You know... not your Disney thing of coming of age. I don't know if Westerners and European viewers would find this as Exagerrated and find this stupid... Just so you know, As an Asian, though am not a Japanese, ..... tales, superstitions, and myths is very common in asian Countries. You know what? I laugh so hard because the film is just pretty realistic, I laugh because I realized how stupid I was during my highschool days. This film just nailed on how are we before. I love how the story was delivered in a very simple way. What a lovely and heart warming story. It's simple but it's deep.

It started with Alice being a transferee and then she came to a School where her classroom had a story. She became the center of attraction due to the story of her desk, and then I just realized that I was already hooked along with the story. WHAT IS THE REAL STORY OF HER DESK?! Then suddenly, I was already in a friendship story, to discovery, to the truth and to the reality, How fragile human feeling is. You can't move on if you don't know the truth, and you can't move unless you accept the reality. Or else you'll suffer and live with a stagnant life. You must also know when you are suffering, you might don't know, somebody out there is also suffering because of your sufferings. Watch your actions, or you might cause sufferings to others without your realizations. What an EYE OPENER film.

Regarding its animation, I find it more like a Live action than an Anime. It's not weird, but it's really good.

Overall, I enjoyed this film a lot. Very simple but worth watching.
