April, Come She Will

If you want to read my review of April, Come She Will, read this post. In 四月になれば彼女は, Shun begins to receive letters from his ex-girlfriend, while she fulfilled the couple’s promises, but now he is engaged and his fiancée disappears.

Shun Fujishiro (Takeru Satoh) is a doctor. Even though he was a good companion, it was clear that he had difficulty connecting deeply with his fiancée.

“I’m not good at making eye contact with people.”

Yayoi Sakamoto (Masami Nagasawa) is Shun’s fiancée. She was his senior and, today, she is a veterinarian and works at the same hospital.

“Do you know how to stop love from ending?”

Frustrated with her fiancé’s emotional apathy and knowing that his ex-girlfriend was sending letters, Yayoi disappeared during the wedding preparations.

Haru Iyoda (Nana Mori) was Shun’s ex-girlfriend, a college freshman and clubmate. She accepted better the lack of affection from her ex-boyfriend.

“Somehow, I understand.”

Haru joined the club because she also loved photography and, nowadays, she was capturing the world while traveling, always searching for things we can’t see.

“The smell of rain, the energy of a city or the feeling of the people.”

The trips were to places where the two had promised to go together, 10 years ago. There it was inevitable not to remember everything that happened.

“The feelings I had back then still burn inside me.”

Shun had no lovers and showed his fiancée Haru’s letters. Yayoi seemed to handle the words and photos he received well.

“She’s amazing, traveling alone.”

On April 1st, Yayoi’s birthday, she disappeared leaving only the promises of the dinner she would have with Shun later that night.

Searching for Yayoi, Shun remembers the love he had with Haru and when remembering the promises he didn’t keep with Haru, he remembers that Yayoi disappeared.

April, Come She Will review: where is the love?

A survey conducted in Japan says that: 50% of women and 70% of men in their 20s responded that they don’t have a romantic partner.

25% of people in their 30s responded that they have no intention of getting married. It seems that love has died in big cities like Tokyo.

Or is it that only the naive dare to get married and there are fewer and fewer naive people in the world?
