If you loved Gachi Boy: Wrestling with a Memory, try Midnight Sun
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

What Midnight Sun is
Romeo and Juliet if one had xeroderma pigmentosum. A young woman with a rare sun allergy falls for a boy she watches each night from her window. It's sentimental Japanese melodrama, elevated by Erika Sawajiri's luminous performance.
