Koi Suru Kiseichu plot
Kengo suffers from an extreme form of contamination. He very rarely leaves his apartment and panics when someone comes to visit. He is quietly developing a computer virus. One day he is visited by a man who, under pressure of blackmail, instructs him to keep an eye on the high school student Hijiri. Hijiri has an impulsive fear that others are constantly looking at her (scopophobia). That's why she doesn't go to school anymore...

Not quite my thing. There is a lot of attention for the medical explanation for the phobias. I'm a layman of course, but I find those explanations very unlikely. It does mean that the romantic part of the story barely comes out of the paint. The end result is just so-so. Like most movies with Nana Komatsu that I've seen, this is another example of not quite.

Very strong.
Japanese dramas and romances enough, so much that after a while you can dream the style. That's why it's extra fun when a film like this comes to the surface. Kakimoto adds a lot of original elements, making it a lot more unpredictable (and fun).
The set-up is fairly unique in itself, the stylization is above average and consistently carried through to the end, and the mix of genres works very well. A number of scenes really catch the eye, the film has few dips.
Actors also do it more than properly, so little to nothing to criticize. It's a pity that films like this are so difficult to surface, it's not the time for it, I have the feeling. Familiar and well-behaved are currently more dominant.
4.0* and a extensive review
