If you loved Bakuman, try Love Strikes!
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Hitoshi One, and they both carry the cozy mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bakuman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Love Strikes! is
So this is what happens when a slacker gets a charisma upgrade overnight. Jobless and adrift, a thirty-something man suddenly finds four very different women vying for his attention after quitting his job to write fluff pieces online. It’s less a romantic awakening and more a crash course in why sudden popularity shouldn’t count as a personality.
