If you loved Paco and the Magical Book, try Memories of Matsuko

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 Tetsuya Nakashima, 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 Paco and the Magical Book, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
