If you loved Make a Bow and Kiss, try Love and Lies

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 Takeshi Furusawa, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Make a Bow and Kiss, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
