Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of a quiet, modern city, this series explores the subtle complexities of interpersonal relationships. The narrative centers on the evolving connection between two individuals navigating unspoken emotions and uncertain futures.

I love Adachi works deep from my heart specialy Touch serie, as for this movie i have to be honest i liked it more or less since it focus more on romance genre deeply, anyone who saw the serie (wich is a masterpiece) might feel as i did after watching this movie, maybe cause it doesnt develop the way you want till almost the end? the art as always is perfect, sound is good enough, story is the weakest point in this movie since it wont tell nothing much new other than the hard relationship between Minami and Tatsuya. Overall its Good, so theres no reasonfor you to not watch it :) njust dont expect much as you did on Touch serie.

After seeing some negative reactions regarding this show, i thought that i should give another perspective to what i've understand and enjoyed in the series This is a sequel to the ending to touch. no mistake about that. And this movie justifies the last episode of the series. I will assume you've watched the series already because in the last episode we see the hesitation from Tatsuya about his overall feelings in baseball and Minami. in my opinion, It left me wondering if there's any affirmation if both of them (minami) will work together. AND definitely this movie tackles that AFFIRMATION. the new character isa plot device, no other reason other than that. BUT how she was presented was very acceptable. nnThe decisions they've made in the movie are justified. Maybe because i'm not young anymore, i can understand that life makes us lost all the time. That goes for Tacchan and Minami. They've achieved the Dream to Koshien leaving them wondering what the next big thing is, but in life there is no big thing, unless you make the big step to break in your shell.nnOverall the show made the couple's feelings more stronger for the better. It reflects how we should accept things as the way it should be. nnWe see that in the end. Tachhan pursues his dream with Minami in his heart, while Minami waits for him until the day their love comes to fruitionnnif i were to choose one phrase to describe the series it will benThe story of their Dream!nif i were to choose one phrase to describe the Movie it will benthe Movie of Affirmation

I m still thinking about what i just watched. A movie, or a show which doesn't make any sense, You can call it a crap. The most dissaponting and worst thing about Touch, is our main female mc minami , who is the type of character who can cry anytime, and will blame (tatsuya) who is the best thing about this show, she is a type of character who knows everything but still acting like that she doesn't know anything, a character who is only playing with Our MC's emotions . ( You can also call call it a review of touch ) About movie- I already explained aboutthe story above.nnYa , it's just an alternative ending of Touch..nTatsuya is still living for her passed away brother, he wants to move on from his past feelings but he can't decide who he is , Tatsuya or just a shadow of his brother. He has to decide, what he wants, let's see what his decision will be? nHere you will encounter a new side character, whose potential wasn't used in a right way. Basically this character is meant to show the right direction to Tatsuya,With a drama .nnOverall it's a dissaponting movie.nWe can't ignore the unnecessary drama in the middle of story, just because it has a happy ending.
