If you loved One Summer Story, try A Story of Yonosuke
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 Shuichi Okita, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to One Summer Story, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Story of Yonosuke is
The late-eighties boom rolls over a boy from Nagasaki who mistakes university for destiny. An earnest kid flirts with club presidents and office romance before drifting home again. Funny how the economy gets all the press and the puppy love gets all the laughs.
