If you loved Mio on the Shore, try It Stopped Raining
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 Ryutaro Nakagawa, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mio on the Shore, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What It Stopped Raining is
A budding bone detective obsessively circles a taiyaki cart after each downpour, unaware his romance is on ice. Memory loss turns their daily dates into fresh starts he can’t keep track of. The film memorably forgets to mention where his keys went between visits.
