If you loved Teen Bride, try No Longer Heroine

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 Tsutomu Hanabusa, and they both carry the bittersweet, cozy, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Teen Bride, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What No Longer Heroine is

A live-action manga adaptation about the perils of unrequited love? Sure, why not. Hatori believes she's destined to be with childhood pal Rita, until he inexplicably dates someone else. A popular classmate then vies for Hatori's attention. It's not quite Shakespeare, but the heart wants what it wants.
