Teaser - Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu

Here’s the first teaser for Takehiko Shinjo‘s Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu (I Give My First Love to You), a live-action adaptation of Kotomi Aoki’s tear-jerking manga originally serialized in Sho-Comi in 2005.

Plot: As a child Takuma is diagnosed with a heart condition that requires care from a cardiologist. He soon becomes friends with his doctor’s young daughter Mayu while being treated at the hospital. One day Mayu overhears her father saying that Takuma’s condition is serious enough that he most likely won’t live long beyond the age of 20. Takuma isn’t aware of this himself, however, so at 8-years-old he makes a promise to marry Mayu when they turn 20. Later in life, Takuma (now played by Masaki Okada) becomes aware that he won’t be able to keep this promise and he begins distancing himself from Mayu (Mao Inoue) in hopes of protecting her.

Toho will be releasing this one in Japan on October 24, 2009.

now what a cliché ... the dying boy and the promise of eternal love. i have already seen a dozen of japanese and Korean movies like that, yet they still make more of it. Cheap ;-)

Yeah, I usually avoid tearjerkers like the plague but I like Inoue and Okada enough to warrant some coverage.
