If you loved Grand Blue, try High School Debut
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 Tsutomu Hanabusa, and they both carry the cozy mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Grand Blue, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What High School Debut is
The film follows Haruna’s comic struggle to pivot from softball heroine to teenage heartthrob, guided by an unlikely mentor with strings attached. Her earnest but misguided training montage hits predictable but amusing beats. A textbook teen rom-com that knows exactly what shelf it belongs on.
