Kagen no Tsuki ~Last Quarter (下弦の月~ラスト・クォーター, Kagen no Tsuki ~Rasuto Kuōtā, also known as Last Quarter of the Moon) is a 2004 Japanese film directed by Ken Nakai, based on Ai Yazawa's manga of the same name.

Synopsis

Do you believe in love after death? On the eve of her 19th birthday, Mizuki (Kuriyama) doesn't have a lot to celebrate about. Her mother recently committed suicide, her stepfamily bothers her, her boyfriend has been cheating on her and her best friend has betrayed her. Hurt and disillusioned, Mizuki runs from everything and is drawn by some unknown force to a dilapidated estate. Deep within the house Mizuki discovers the mysterious Adam (Hyde), playing a hauntingly familiar melody on the guitar. Melancholy and full of secrets, it seems that Adam, and the house, have a strange, irresistible link to Mizuki. Can Mizuki's boyfriend and a couple of well-meaning schoolchildren uncover the secret of what happened 19 years ago and free Mizuki before the last quarter of the moon falls?

Differences from the manga

Rest in Peace, Adam.

So where do I sail?
A ship losing control.
My cries swallowed up, lost in the raging sea.

So where has love gone?
Will I ever reach it?
The Cape Of Storms echoes the pain I feel inside.
