When i watched with my sisters, staying up late till 1 am, we cried more that a litre of tears thats for sure. Its a very sad but inspirational 11 episode show.
Aya Kito was really an inspirational to everyone that still received countless letters from around the world in how she had been a courageous girl.
Erika Sawajiri is really an excellent actress that potrayed Aya Kito's character very very well.
And Niishikido Ryo is a great actor who potrayed a boy who fell in love with her despite her illness.
A really touching show..damn i always ended up crying watching it again.
I still remembered that day we three sisters ended up having swollen bloodshot eyes..that our younger sister compared our eyes..hehehe...
