In this drama, every character has their own special characteristics that I feel every role is the leading one and I can remember almost all the character, which has never happened before. It's humorous Nakatsu with unique verbal and non-verbal forms of monologue scenes, asking doltish questions like "Can I cry?" yet is a honest boy, loving with all his heart but delicate enough to realize the love between two of his close friend and is willing to withdraw for the counterpart's happiness. It's Sekime whose name is usually forgotten and to eliminate this misconception of fuzziness, he tries and tries so hard to master high jumping, which is his best ability. It's Noe who usually proves himself by creating peculiar machine like lying-founder, translating animal languages machine, sex-distinguishing machine... It's Nakao who talks the talk but doesn't really walk the walk: he is a kind of sharp-tongued but is the first one to protect Ashiya from others' reproaches when her secret is out. It's three higgledy-piggledy head dorms: Nanba - a philogynist, Tennouji - a violent pugilist, Oscar - a fanciful drama-lover with featured bear-dancing; however, they're always serious and hearty whenever the students of their dorms need them. It's doctor Umeda, a sensitive doctor with whom Ashiya can share anything. It's teacher Sawatari who always ends his annoucement by this saying: "It's principal's saying." And it's two main characters, one is Ashiya, sacrificing her family, friends and time to help Sano find his lost smile, his lost dream; one is Sano, who want to reach the sky, even only 1 centimetre, cold outside but warm inside, always silently protect Ashiya from being discovered that she is a girl... Who else? There are still several characters that I cannot list all here. I love all of them, the biggest reason is, no one is cruel but make me laugh a lot. I think this life is fiendish enough, so we don't want to meet it in entertainment anymore. Foolish, violent or talkative as they are, I admire them. Because after that dull-head appearances, there are so much confidence, teenage pure hearts, dreams of catching their future, wonderful friendship, and new blooming love... Though they usually argue with each other, this just makes them closer and closer. Thus, they are likely to live in heaven of the most beautiful of young age. At this place, Ashiya gets on well with a host of happy and overparticular boys. At this place, Ashiya have found smile for Sano. At this very Ohsaka High School, Ashiya have received this love declaration: "Ashiya, you are number one." Having experienced such happiness and sorrow, I wonder if someone has the heart to leave Ohsaka? Therefore, Ashiya has to leave silently at the end of the drama so that she can evade the painful part. Anyway, all friends stand together in front of her to say goodbye. This moment really burst me into tears. I believe that, Ashiya is the most happy person in the world when Nanba proclaims: "Whether you are boy or girl, you are one indispensable part of Ohsaka High."
Is there anybody feel envious of Ohsaka students and their loyal friendship? I believe anyone who watched the film would have this feeling and realize that each student is one blossom which cannot bloom forever; nonetheless, be the most beautiful and full-blown one, so that there will be no regret or pain afterward.
I'm so sorry if you want to find sparkling beauty or handsome in this drama. Instead, you are likely to be back to your most beautiful moment - your teenage with so many pure feelings, so much honest and touchy friendship. Believe me, this film is produced to help you find your past gift once again – pure radiant laughs and smiles, just like this drama's English title: For you in full blossom.
