    I don't know if the plot line was taken by the comic books or not that Yuka Matsumoto wrote? But the story are almost same, and the murder was the same person too.

    The story are not so enjoyable and too short. Because their acting are so unnatural and not so good (accept Kyoko Fukada and Masaya Kato), and they look like not showing enough emotion to express their feelings. Beside the plot line was too weak to showing what happened in that school 80 years ago.

    And at the end Kyoko and Masaya must separate even they are perfect for each other, which suppose that they should be together (the big mistake from who that made this story line). And I think this film continue with Kyoko's drama at the next year (same love story, between teacher and his student).

    All set in a catholic school in Japan a series of crimes happen. That's basically the plot. It's not clear who's behind it and it kind of continues step by step and remains mostly interesting. So the dramaturgy is well set up. The acting is mediocre but the main protagonist delivers a good performance. The music gives this movie an emotional tone, a good one, similar to many animes. The atmosphere is quite dark but it hard for me phrase why exactly, but it is good and fits the scenario. So if you like good dark crime movies with an artistic edge or if you are a fan of Dedective Conan you should totally watch this.
