It will be interesting to see how the dynamic between Takuya, his father, and Minoru changes because of Takuya's different age in the new film. Because he is now not an elementary school student, it will definitely not be possible to show how naive he is regarding adult matters and "the real world", unless he is socially maljusted or something Very Happy Which come to think of it would also be different, because in the manga Takuya is very popular...

I love Baby and Me, but...

NINETEEN YEARS OLD!? There are plenty of people raising kids at that age. That completely defeats the purpose of the story!

Sigh....

I hate it when respective plots get changed for movie adaptations just so they can put some hot star in it.

It's stupid, and needs to stop.

Also, I agree with jsevakis, the point of the story is its a kid raising a kid. The point of the entire story is now gone, and this will probably suck.

no. Just...no. It is going to suck because of the age difference. The whole dynamic is going to be gone.
