Drawing Closer is a forthcoming Japanese movie from Netflix.
Synopsis: Starring Ren Nagase & Natsuki Deguchi and directed by Takahiro Miki, this film is a live-action adapation of a best-selling novel that became a hot topic on social media for how it moves readers to tears.
It is a story of a time-limited romance woven by two people who strive to live in the present moment.
Initially posted on a self-publishing website, this story soon caught the eye of editors, who noted that despite the plot being almost entirely revealed by its original Japanese title, it still made them cry. It later went on to be published as a best-selling book by Ao Morita, with readers sharing their tearful reactions on social media. Now it receives a live-action film adaptation.
Drawing Closer is on Netflix from June 27th, and we’ll be reviewing this nearer the time.
