Among the different types coexisting within dramas, the category of human drama plays a significant and regularly offers to fans series of good quality. Adapting a novel sold more than 3 million copies of Chuushin Sekai no Ai wo Sakebu is a perfect example.

A this raises the question of memory and the weight of grief. Saku (Naoto Ogata) is literally tortured by the memory of Aki, so that his tears no longer seem to be paid for it, but for himself, unable it is to live a single day without reliving the agony of lost love. Between the desire to live at last and keep intact the memory of Aki, Saku is a being whose suffering we can not timeless touch.
If oblivion is probably the best medicine to trauma beings, it is nevertheless sometimes a bitter potion. The only downside might be the provision of Takayuki Yamada (Saku 1987), but fortunately his usual blankness does not extend to the most dramatic scenes. Consequently, in all its aspects, Chuushin of Sekai no Ai wo Sakebu is revealed as a series, certainly by melodramatic about it, but the right tone. Things to see and feel.
