Summary taken from goodreads:
Having no experience in romance, the vibrant Ninako curiously explores the meaning of what "love" really is, and is surprised to feel a colorful range of emotions as she grows closer to the school heartthrob, the quiet yet gentle Ren, who also happens to be involved in a longtime relationship. With every intention of keeping her head held high, Ninako prepares to face the mental pain of this one-sided love that she had allowed to take root, facing a series of trials that would either contribute to her growth as a headstrong woman, or break her as it did with other girls. However, is this really a one-sided love? Or had something been silently sown in the most hidden part of Ren's heart?
3 STARS - I LIKED IT ENOUGH
MY REVIEW:
The heroine is a bit of an idiot, so it's a bit of a stretch to believe someone to be so naive about so many things in life. However, she grows and experiences love and heartbreak, and she's so wholehearted about it that it's sweet.
There are many stereotypical characters, the cool love interest, the other guy who likes her, the group of girls who like the cool character, but even they aren't that stereotypical. The cool guy actually thinks about his actions (the phone charm part at least), the other guy doesn't totally lack a backbone, and the girls aren't totally unrealistic--they admire the cool guy, but they're not delusional about him ever liking them back.
All-in-all, not a bad read if you want something quick and not too vapid.
Running time: 116 minutes

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
Even though I've had the book WORLD WAR Z for almost over three years now, I have yet to actually read it. However, after watching this movie, I think that I'll try to read it soon since I liked the movie so much. Plus, I think that the movie strayed from the book since the book was about several stories, and the movie only hit a couple of them.
But yeah, since I haven't read the book yet, I had nothing to compare the movie to, which is probably why I liked the movie so much. It was an ingenius take on zombies with solid acting and great characterization. Also, unlike THIS IS THE END, the special effects was amazing. Everything looked life-like and in great detail.
