Synopsis:

Minato is a young girl who was traumatized at a young age by being orphaned and left with her grandmother. She frequently corresponds with a pen-pal named Night, a boy about the same age as her that she's never actually seen in person. Although Minato and Night are very different - Minato is upbeat while Night is brooding, they get along anyway and she regularly updates him on the happenings in her daily life. Minato is even willing to confide in Night that she's falling in love with a boy she's recently met named Sho.

One day she wakes up and finds Sho acting extremely distant and tentative around her. She suspects Night may have something to do with this so she arranges to meet him at the mail box. However, he never shows. As it turns out Night is actually Minato's overprotective split personality and has been trying to drive Sho away by bullying him whenever he had control of her body.

My take: 

less than a minute into the movie and i loved it. i really, really love how the movie opened with a black and white sequence. although, as usually the case is with Japanese movies, it's not for everyone's taste. I'm familiar with the phenomenon/medical case Multiple Split Personality Disorder but i had a hard time accepting that a 2nd personality can fall in love with the host. But i guess, love comes in different forms. I loved how the movie ended though. and the closing song Love Song by Mariko Hamada. Funny, this is the only movie I can say where my most favorite scenes are the opening and the closing. If you're a fan of Horikita Maki ( Nobuta Wo Produce), this is a must see.
