Anyway .. Just watched the movie because of this thread. Gotta love the scenery in this one .. Some scenes were visually just stunning .. Makes me wonder why the character design is always so simple in these kind of movies though .. Perhaps to portray '' real '' humans.. I don't know, but it's still rather boring.

Story was .. predictable I suppose but still pretty good. I wish there were more movies like this (maybe not story wise, but scenery/art) .. There's just something about watching a movie opposed to a series.
Him choosing a highschool was a bit of plot-point, so they should still be going to middleschool, which makes them about 14, maybe 15 max.
And my point wasn't that enjo-kōsai or even prostitution was uncommon amongst schoolgirls in Japan, but rather how the protagonist was quite accepting of it.
