The story of Rainbow Days takes us into the daily lives of these teenagers who each have a different character. We follow them in this difficult period of transition and fraught with conflicting feelings. In addition to the romance that will be very present, it is also the friendship of the four young people that is highlighted. Nothing new in this classic comedy certainly, but it nevertheless allows us to spend a pleasant moment.
The feature film of Rainbow Days is quite in tune with the times with its subject and its cast of the most promising. We find the passion of youth, the passion and freshness of living in a good-natured atmosphere. The videos confirm it once again with opening/ending both soft and dynamic. The plot seems interesting although we have a doubt about the rather short format of the film (1h49) while the manga has sixteen volumes!
Rainbow Days is a live film remaining in a genre that appeals to a wide audience, indeed the themes speak to everyone and especially to young women. Romantic comedy lovers or those who want to discover manga or anime in another way, this should make you happy.
