If you loved Bakuman, try Tornado Girl
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Tornado Girl has roughly 5.5× fewer votes than Bakuman — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 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 Tornado Girl is
A film about finding love (or something like it). Koroki, a magazine editor and Tamio Okuda fan, develops a crush on a mischievous fashion writer at work. It is generally easier to live like someone else when you are not yourself.
