If you loved High School Debut, try Grand Blue

What they share

Both films are directed by Tsutomu Hanabusa, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to High School Debut, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
