Welcome to Storyflix.
In this video, we will explain You Are The Apple of My Eye.
This movie tells the story of a high school student who is very lazy but enjoys a comfortable life.
One day,
because of his excessive jokes, his class's teaching and learning activities were disrupted.
His angry teacher then asked a smart student to supervise him during class hours.
Due to a small incident, they become close.
Will love grow between them?
Let's find out in You Are the Apple of My Eye.
You Are the Apple of My Eye shows a man named Kosuke Mizushima who seems to be getting ready
and polishing his shoes because he plans to go somewhere that day.
After that,
it was seen
that he was visited by two of his friends who told him that the bride was ready.
The scene then switches and shows a flashback to ten years ago,
where at that time Kosuke was still a high school student.
While in high school,
Kosuke befriends two geeky students named Akiyama Kotone and Sugimura Kazuki.
Entering the school building,
Kosuke appears to be approached by a female teacher who scolds him for his long and disheveled hair.
Instead of being afraid or feeling guilty,
Kosuke even seduced the teacher so that he was punished.
While in class, Kosuke again acted with a very disturbing joke,
so the teacher told him to sit facing the back wall of the classroom.
Not long after that,
the teacher told Kosuke to move seats in front of one of the smartest girls in the class,
namely Mai Hayase.
The teacher then asked Mai to help Kosuke in studying.
The next day,
during the Mathematics lesson,
Mai apparently forgot to bring her textbook and intends to stand up to accept the punishment.
But then, Kosuke who sat in front of her, handed his textbook to Mai,
so Kosuke who received the punishment, sat in the back facing the back wall of the classroom.
Mai then came to Kosuke during lunch and thanked him for helping her.
Mai then asked Kosuke why he never really took lessons in class.
Kosuke then replied that studying is a very boring thing.
Mai who felt annoyed then rushed to leave Kosuke.
The next day, Kosuke leaves for school early
because he wants to practice martial arts with his friend,
Kento Machida, a very talented student in sports.
After finishing, Kosuke rushed into his class and met Mai,
who arrived at school that early.
The two of them had a casual conversation, where Kosuke realized that Mai was not a
quiet girl and was quite fun to talk to.
Since then, Kosuke and Mai began to get closer, where Mai often helps Kosuke study,
not only watching him so as not to fall asleep or joke in class.
One day,
Mai gives Kosuke practice questions and a Math reference book to help him understand the lesson.
That night, Kosuke worked on the Math practice questions with difficulty.
As usual, the following day,
Kosuke left for school early to practice martial arts and entered his class,
where only Mai had arrived.
Mai then asked for the practice questions she previously gave,
which turned out to be all wrong answers.
Mai then asked Kosuke to do new practice questions with the steps she had taught before.
After that, Kosuke began to study hard and thanks to his hard work,
he finally managed to get a pretty good score on the Math exam. Kosuke's success also made Mai feel
happy because it indicated that she had succeeded in teaching Kosuke, one of the dumbest and laziest
students in the class. Mai and Kosuke always study together in class after school. One day, Kosuke,
who has started to feel confident, then challenges Mai to get the top rank in the semester exam.
Kosuke said that whoever between the two of them managed to get the top rank in the exam,
then it was right to ask for anything from the losing side. Mai then accepted the challenge.
Since then, both Mai and Kosuke, have become more active in learning to win the challenge.
Every now and then, Kosuke teases Mai when she is focused on studying. But Mai chose
to ignore it. The day for the announcement of the results of the exams arrived. As predicted,
Mai managed to rank second best, while Kosuke didn't make it into the top ten. According to
the agreement, as the losing party, Kosuke must also obey Mai's request to cut his long hair.
The change in Kosuke's hairstyle that became bald of course made Mai shocked and couldn't help but
laugh because his facial expression looked even more adorable. Not only Mai, but Kosuke's friends
also seemed surprised and even played with his head. Kosuke and his four friends were sitting on
the sidelines when Mai and her friend, a student named Utako Komatsubara, passed in front of them.
Kosuke looked flabbergasted by Mai's beauty, who apparently cut her bangs and slightly changed
her hairstyle. Since then, Kosuke finally realized that he had fallen in love with Mai.
One day, when they were about to start their lesson, a local police officer came to the class
after receiving a report that a case of vandalism of public facilities and theft had occurred inside
the school. After conducting an investigation, the police suspect that the perpetrators carried out
the action before seven o'clock in the morning. Therefore, the homeroom teacher intends to collect
and search students who come to school before seven in the morning. Kosuke immediately felt
annoyed because he thought their homeroom teacher did not trust their own students. Kosuke then
threw his bag in front of the class, followed by the other students, including Mai. Kosuke,
Kento, several other students, including Mai who were known to come to school before seven in the
morning, were then punished by their homeroom teacher by standing in the hallway. Kosuke had
time to tease Mai who was crying because this was the first time for her to be punished at school.
A few months later, graduation day arrived. Mai was then appointed as the students' representative
to deliver the valedictorian. Everyone seemed touched and moved to hear Mai's speech.
After that, Kosuke and his friends gathered and joked in the schoolyard for the last time.
Meanwhile, Mai and Utako seem to be chatting with each other, where Mai whispers something to
Utako about a young man she likes. Kosuke and his friends then go to the beach with Mai and Utako.
They sat together while expressing their hopes and dreams after graduating from school.
In the evening, Kosuke gets a call from Mai asking him to come immediately. Feeling worried,
Kosuke rushed to Mai who was crying because she failed to enter the college she wanted.
Kosuke tried to calm Mai while giving the clothes he was wearing to wipe Mai's teary face.
Not long after, Mai was finally accepted into a university in Tokyo, thus requiring her to
move from the city. Before leaving, Kosuke who drove Mai to the station then gave a gift in the
form of a white t-shirt that said 'You Are The Apple of My Eye' and after that they separated.
On the other hand, Kosuke managed to get into a university in the city and majored in culture.
Kosuke and Mai continue to communicate by phone, where Mai then tells Kosuke that she is now living
with Utako who also attends the same university. A few months later, during summer vacation,
Mai decided to return to her hometown to meet Kosuke. The two of them then spent time together
by visiting various places. Mai then asked why Kosuke liked her. Kosuke replied that he didn't
have any reason and liked Mai. Hearing that, Mai looked disappointed because she expected a serious
answer from Kosuke. Mai then left Kosuke, where it made Kosuke think that Mai didn't like him.
Mai and Kosuke then intended to fly lanterns. Kosuke told Mai that he just wanted to like Mai
without expecting anything in return. Apparently, he was afraid if Mai rejected him directly.
Therefore, he chose not to find out how Mai felt about him. On the other hand, Mai apparently wants
to express her love for Kosuke. However, she gave up after hearing Kosuke's words.
Sometime later, Kosuke intends to hold a fight night as part of an event at his college,
where he then invites Mai to witness the fight, hoping to impress Mai with his physical strength.
But Mai didn't feel impressed at all and on the contrary, she felt very disappointed and thought
that Kosuke was very childish for hurting himself for no reason. The two of them then
had a big fight and Kosuke left Mai just like that in the pouring rain. Since that incident,
Mai and Kosuke never communicated again and lived their own lives. Two years later, there was an
earthquake that shook Japan. Feeling worried for Mai, Kosuke rushed to contact her to ask if she
was okay. At the same time, Mai was also about to call Kosuke to ask how he was. Kosuke then asked
Mai about her feelings and why she refused to date him. Mai replied that at that time she was
not ready to have a romantic relationship with Kosuke for one reason or another. During their
long conversation over the phone, Kosuke and Mai bemoaned the fact that they weren't meant to be a
couple. Mai then thanked Kosuke for still loving her and accompanying her during her school days.
Years later, Kosuke is now a well-known web novel writer. One day, Kosuke gets a call from
Mai informing him that she is getting married soon and invites him to her wedding. Kosuke
intends to attend Mai's wedding with Akiyama and Sugimura. Kosuke looks very flabbergasted
by Mai's beauty who is wearing a wedding dress. Kosuke is happy to see the woman he loves has now
found her happiness, even though in the end they are not meant to be together. All of Mai's school
friends come and gather at her wedding, where they are surprised that their past emotions have
transformed into deep friendship and serenity. Later, when they all gathered to congratulate the
bride and groom. Kento and the others joked that they should be able to kiss the bride.
Mai's husband then said that anyone who wants to kiss the bride must kiss him like that first.
Without thinking, Kosuke grabbed the groom and pushed him onto the table, kissing him like he was
about to kiss Mai. Kosuke then imagines himself kissing Mai and remembers how he regretted their
fight a few years ago, and what could happen if he apologized for his selfish and childish behavior.
On the other hand, Mai also recalled her memories with Kosuke, where she once told Utako that she
liked Kosuke and wished she could always be with him and wrote her wish on the lantern.
Film ends with Kosuke who begins to work on a web novel about his experiences with Mai.
The moral that we can learn from this film is that differences in character
are not an excuse not to make friends with other people. The diligent and smart Mai can
be good friends with Kosuke who is lazy and often causes trouble in class. The difference
in the characters of the two did not dampen their friendship, which made them happy. So,
although different in nature and character, every human being has the right to make good friends.
Through this film we also learn that love does not always have to have each other. Matchmaking
is God's secret and no one will be able to guess who our soul mate will be in the future.
