First i watch paradise kiss's anime then i read manga.Well Ai Yazawa is a great manga author.Not only her drawing style her story writing style is different and awesome!The way that she describe characters are awesome also the cast of the movie were right choices to. I knew Keiko Kitagawa from sailor moon and fast and furious. Osamu Mukai made an outstanding job in mei-chan no shitsuji. Well i always happens in movies they change the plot a little bit or cut scenes.I think there was no need to that.In manga and anime the ending was different-actually the movie ending was pretty good too but i prefer ai yazawa's endings:) Back grounds and places in movie are absolutely excellent!Music was nice so i would like to rewatch the movie again^_^
