He grew from feeling as a rejected child to having thesense of belonging in Katagiri's family. Sachi was fostered next into the family. She lost her mother and was ill-treated by her father.

OAL: This 1 Litre of Tears sad, I don't know if they are trying to encourage or discourage being foster parents. It is one hour long so there is no time for lag or dragging. I liked how they didn't sugar coat anything though. You definitely felt the joy, frustration, happiness and despair with the family as they bonded, fell apart and re-knit. This is from 2003 so the production value isn't super high but the acting was well done and immersed you well into the story. I would recommend this story for some one looking for a good slice of life drama and only had a small amount of time to spend watching something.
