Shortly afterwards, Hiro discovers that his health is deteriorating and makes the painful decision to break up with Mika to keep his terminal illness from causing her pain. As Mika goes on with her life Hiro continues to follow her whereabouts through his highschool friend, Nozumu.

My Review

A typical love story with a bit of a twist at the end.
Watching it was interesting and seeing the love conflict between Mika and Hiro really was moving.
Though it might not be the best love story but it is still a great one.
