If you loved Heavenly Forest, try Paradise Kiss
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 Takehiko Shinjo, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Heavenly Forest, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Paradise Kiss is
A college-bound teenager swaps textbooks for tiny skirts after stumbling into a band of silk-stocked fashion terrorists. She reluctantly becomes their ideal model, chasing a dream she didn’t know existed. The result is a cute little soap bubble that pops before it can fog up the lens.
