This lighthearted, romance flick documents a university student’s efforts to date a beautiful woman with eccentric interests. the movie is based on a famous blog turned comics whose plot revolves around the world of Fujoshi otakus — girls with peculiar interests in yaoi manga, butler cafes, anime and ero dating games.
Hinata (Shunsuke Daito) fell head over heels in love with his former co-worker, Yoriko (Wakana Matsumoto) the first time he saw her. after gathering up all his courage, Hinata asks her to go out with him. Yoriko warns him that she is a ‘Fujoshi’, unaware of what the word means, Hinata pursues his love. He then finds himself dining in butler cafes with her and her fellow fujoshi friends, buying Boys-Love manga, attending hobby cons,watching anime and playing princess-butler games. at first, He finds his girlfriend’s unrevealed hobby rather ambiguous, giving him a hard time to blend in and make their relationship public. but as he grew more enamored with her, Hinata learns to accept Yoriko for who she is..
i’d rate this teenybopper movie 4 out of 5.. it filled my two hours with ‘moe-moe’ and sweetness! i bet every girl who harbors the same interests with the girl protagonist will like this because having someone who sees past your weird fancies is surely the most beautiful part of being a geek.. :)
THIS MOVIE CAN BE WATCHED HERE.happy viewing! XD
