It was an innocent friendship at the start, which slowly turned into deeper feelings each time they met in the summer. The movie starts off light-hearted with some comedic elements here and there. They can only meet in the summer when she’s there with her uncle, and Gin dies if he comes into contact with a human, so no paedophilia here (thank goodness). Hotaru is a normal (actually not so) girl that happens to wander into the forest when she was 6, meeting Gin the foxdude who seems about 18-20 in the movie. Of course, this was already a huge heads-up to what lies ahead but I watched it anyway knowing that I’d probably end up crying. The movie starts off with Hotaru (our female protagonist) recounting the past about Gin and her. This movie was released in 2011, so the art is still pretty decent. I can’t remember how I chanced upon this, but it decided to watch this on my last week of the December holidays. I should warn you guys that I am pretty emotional when it comes to touching or sad scenes, but this one is MORE than just a tear-jerker. Continues watching on in hope that there is more after the credits* *Credits end off with lyrics to their song* … I guess that’s how it ends. It only takes up 45 minutes of your time (for a massive emotional build-up towards the end) 😉 If you haven’t watched this, go give it a go.

However, their relationship and resolve are put to the test, when romantic feelings conflict with the one and only rule.īased on Yuki Midorikawa's manga of the same name, Hotarubi no Mori e is a tale of friendship and compromise of two people who should never have crossed paths, as their lives become hopelessly intertwined. Paying no heed to his cautionary words, and despite being separated by both distance and planes of existence, Hotaru and Gin become close friends as she visits him every summer.
In spite of this, Gin leads Hotaru out of the forest and warns her never to return when she promises to come again with a gift. She learns the hard way that she should not touch the boy, or he would disappear. Exhausted and desperate for help, Hotaru is thrilled to find a masked forest spirit named Gin.
Intrigued by the tale of a mountain god, six-year-old Hotaru Takegawa loses her way in the ancient forest while visiting her uncle.
