If you loved 1/2 Man, try August in the Water
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.

What August in the Water is
Tokyo seaside. Cicada rasp. A dropped ice cream. A beachside accident unleashes strange new powers in a young swimmer. Her changed body becomes a source of fear, fascination, and possible connection to cosmic forces. Gakuryu Ishii pivots, unexpectedly, toward shōjo manga's mystical preoccupations.
