Description

The novel has been adapted into a Japanese live-action film as of last year, although that doesn’t appear to be available in English at the time of writing. Author Misaki Ichijo has also written a sequel following Izumi titled Even If These Tears Disappear Tonight, which Yen Press are due to release in May. Toru Kamiya makes a heartfelt confession to her, she informs him that she has a disease. When she wakes up, her disease causes her to have no memory of the day before. She keeps a diary of what happened the day before and reads it in the morning to be able to recall her memories. Toru Kamiya decides to bring to her as many happy days as possible.

Adapted from the novel "Konya, Sekai Kara Kono Koi ga Kietemo" (今夜、世界からこの恋が消えても) by Ichijo Misaki (一条岬). Edit Translation this is definitely not mindblowing oh-so-amazing piece of literature out there. the storyline is cliche and predictable. but does it take away my enjoyment? absolutely not! i enjoyed my time reading this book and i feel connection with the characters. this book make me feel something: love, happiness, sadness. a very heartwarming, yet sad story. Cliché circumstances then allow her to meet Tooru Kamiya, who is the other protagonist of this story. Most of the story is told from his point of view (it changes between the two of them) and we learn that he's from a poor family, and has some family issues of his own. The story then follows the two of them navigating their life as a (fake!!) couple, but with a catch; Hino doesn't remember anything she does with Tooru, and falls in love with him slowly, each day they spend together.

The story is wonderful and the direction does justice its beauty. While the story is thoroughly dramatic, neither the characters nor the dialogues let you disengage because of it. The portrayal balances out the story perfectly. A very neat showcase indeed! Hidden among Yen Press’s large collection of light novels are the occasional standalone novels, stories that aren’t part of a series or filled with anime-inspired illustrations. One such title is author Misaki Ichijo’s debut work: Even If This Love Disappears Tonight, which I’m here to take a look at today. Will it delight? Let’s find out! The story revolves around a young man named Tooru Kamiya, who asked Maori Hino to go on a date with him to protect his friend Shimokawa from school bullies. This was the condition set by the bullies to stop harassing Shimokawa. Unexpectedly, Maori agreed to go on a date, and eventually, they became fake couples. But she had three conditions: first, they would not talk until after school; second, their interactions had to be brief; and third, he couldn't fall in love with her. This review probably doesn't make much sense (I apologize), but the story itself is confusing to explain. Throughout the book, the pov switches between the two of them, and there are many timeskips, which usually really bothers me because it makes the story so much more confusing, but in this story, it works because it explains why certain events happened the way they did.

All jokes aside, Even If This Love Disappears Tonight is a predictable book from start to finish. It hits all the notes of a sentimental teen love story to an almost clinical degree. Although it does have a satisfying ending that lives up to the themes of the story, the road to it is full of shallow characterization and contrivances that don't even make much symbolic sense; they exist merely to set up the inevitable tragic scenario. Comparing with the trailer, I really love that it doesn't give any spoiler and no one would know what's coming. The 3 rules of Tooru and Maori relationship mentioned but finally explained at the end of the movie. The book is mostly written from the perspective of Tooru, but there are chapters told through Maori’s eyes as well as Izumi’s and that helps give us a rounded view of what everyone’s feeling as the story goes on. There are also some of Maori’s diary entries included, so we can see the kind of detail she keeps about her days and snippets of her feelings toward Tooru. It certainly helps keep the reader engaged in the world and hits hard emotionally as the book goes on. Each day (hehe) - no matter how difficult, no matter what monsters our dreams remake in the night - still exists as its own entity. Even separated from the past and the future, the present and the stories and relationships between us (hi El, if you're reading this - I love you) carry so much weight. And the good memories we make, the footprints we leave on the sand, will weather against the waves, but never fully wash away.Japanese people seem to know how to make something really delicate , especially when it comes to romance films. Again, this is another film that makes my heart fly up with happiness and then tears fall down heavily. It is a memorable experience. Tooru agrees to these conditions, assuming at first that Maori simply wants to enjoy pretend dating and has reasons of her own for having a fake boyfriend. The two begin spending their days together after school and our protagonist soon realises he has fallen for Maori and works up the courage to tell her, but the truth behind Maori setting the rules she did is revealed and shatters Tooru’s world. Because of his bully classmates, Toru Kamiya ( Shunsuke Michieda) makes a false confession to his classmate Maori Hino ( Riko Fukumoto). Her tells her that he likes her, but she lays out rules for him if they are to date. One of her rules is that they are not to fall in love with each other. Toru Kamiya and Maori Hino begin to date and have a good time together. Soon, Toru Kamiya breaks his promise and falls in love with Maori Hino. When Toru and Maori's reasons for deciding to fake-date each other are similarly flimsy. Usually, the couple would face some kind of negative outcome if they don't agree to fake-date, but here there's nothing of the sort to justify the trope. Toru agrees to this convoluted setup without question because he's just nice and accepting. Even though the novel wastes no time in describing Maori as beautiful, it also makes pains to convey that Toru is not the shallow kind of guy who lets her looks influence his decision. Even after she explains her motivation to try something new in life, there's no indication of why she found him worthy of trust as a stranger, or even sees him as physically attractive. It fits with the common trope of pure love transcending superficial attraction, but in this case the couple has such little chemistry that it makes for a terribly boring romance. As for the characters, they are very well portrayed by the actor and actresses. The female lead looks like most of the time (90%)"Momo of Twice" and (on some angle)"Mina of twice". I also like how the characters has only a few clothing to use for the movie. As it emulates the realistic way of how people dress up on multiple times when seeing with friends and acquitances.
