If you loved I Give My First Love to You, try Heavenly Forest
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Takehiko Shinjo, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to I Give My First Love to You, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Heavenly Forest is
A shy photographer discovers friendship in a homely classmate who pines in silence. Their university days spin out in sunlit corridors and quiet misunderstandings. Time passes, but not the awkward tenderness that defined them.
