Love Like The Falling Petals - Book/Film Review

ORIGINALLY AIRED 6/24

This is a story of boy meets girl, and it is not a love story.* Keisuke Uyama's popular novel follows a young couple who fall in love yet are separated due to a fatal illness that causes someone to age rapidly. Death looms over the couple's time and intimacy together, yet what if miscommunication is accelerating their demise? Host Jonathan "Joestar" Beltran and crew member Razelatte delves further into the book and its Netflix film adaptation by the same name as well as whether or not it can become an anime (and by who/what studio).

• Love Like the Falling Petals novel is published by Clover Press.

• Love Like the Falling Petals film is streaming on Netflix
