If you loved Her Granddaughter, try Strobe Edge
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Ryuichi Hiroki, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Her Granddaughter, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Strobe Edge is
Here's a film that asks: can a girl get a boyfriend just by being relentlessly nice? A high-schooler falls for a popular classmate who already has a girlfriend, then pines. Strobe Edge is a pretty good primer on the complexities of Japanese high-school dating, for those interested.
