If you loved BU・SU, try Tokyo Marigold

What they share

Both films are directed by Jun Ichikawa, and they both carry the slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to BU・SU, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
