If you loved Maiko Haaaan!!!, try The Apology King

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 Nobuo Mizuta, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Maiko Haaaan!!!, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Apology King is

A single man runs a Tokyo-based business dedicated exclusively to teaching others the art of contrition. His methods span everything from minor disputes to international incidents. The film makes it abundantly clear that if you can't say sorry, you probably shouldn't be saying anything at all.
