Anime

A stage play adaptation ran from November 14 to 24, 2014 in Japan. The play stars Tomoki Okayama as Yūki Hase, Maya Okano [ja] as Kaori Fujimiya, Kimito Totani as Shōgo Kiryū, and Juria Kawakami as Saki Yamagishi.^[31]^[32]

Live-action film

A live-action film was released in February 2017. The film is directed by Shōsuke Murakami and written by Yōko Izumisawa.^[33]

Reception

Carl Kimlinger of Anime News Network (ANN) gave One Week Friends an overall B+ rating. He wrote that the premise can push its dramatic moments a little too far and almost nothing happens throughout the first half of the series. Regardless, Kimlinger praised the plot's character development, saying that it saves the first half with its progression through little events; he added that the dramatic scenes are nicely underplayed to help viewers care for the characters. Kimlinger wrote that Brain's Base and director Tarou Iwasaki provide the series with a style that's perfect, calling the minimalist backgrounds evocative with the right mood and the character animations superb, saying "that makes the show what it is: a sleeper delight, plain and simple."^[34] Fellow ANN editor Gabriella Ekens praised the show for being "emotionally intelligent" with its showcase of Yūki's character growth and for being "beautifully realized" with its "faux-water color style" illustrating Kaori's progression and recovery from amnesia, concluding that: "One Week Friends is slice of life at its best. Gentle, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant, it's the perfect comfort food for an afternoon in. It might be quiet, but you won't forget about it any time soon."^[35] Conversely, Allen Moody from THEM Anime Reviews criticized the "blandness and predictability" of the premise and its characters, singling out Saki for being "annoying on several levels", but commended the show's overall "inoffensiveness" and felt that both Shōgo and Kaori's mom Shiho were the only "genuinely good" people throughout the series.^[36]

The manga has had over 1 million copies printed in Japan.^[37]

 ==Reception==
-Carl Kimlinger of [[Anime News Network]] (ANN) gave ''One Week Friends'' an overall B+ rating. He wrote that the premise can push its dramatic moments a little too far and almost nothing happens throughout the first half of the series. Regardless, Kimlinger praised the plot's character development, saying that it saves the first half with its progression through little events; he added that the dramatic scenes are nicely underplayed to help viewers care for the characters. Kimlinger wrote that Brain's Base and director Tarou Iwasaki provide the series with a style that's perfect, calling the minimalist backgrounds evocative with the right mood and the character animations superb, saying "that makes the show what it is: a sleeper delight, plain and simple."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/one-week-friends/episodes-1-12/.76886|title=''One Week Friends'' Episodes 1-12 Streaming|last=Kimlinger|first=Carl|website=Anime News Network|date=July 23, 2014|access-date=March 29, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200102212224/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/one-week-friends/episodes-1-12/.76886|archive-date=January 2, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> Fellow ANN editor Gabriella Ekens praised the show for being "emotionally intelligent" with its showcase of Yūki's character growth and for being "beautifully realized" with its "faux-water color style" illustrating Kaori's progression and recovery from amnesia, concluding that: "''One Week Friends'' is slice of life at its best.
