The Kirishima Thing

I find Japanese people and their culture very interesting because their social interactions and their humor are so different. They also have a great talent for telling stories that touch you in some way. Maybe that's why I found this movie enjoyable too, even though some would say it's just a highschool teen gossip and drama movie, with all the clichés - from the nerdy guys, to the bitchy girls, to the sports jocks. It does however have quite a lot of charming and heartwarming moments. It's not at all as superficial and "fake" as any comparable movie out of Hollywood. Also there is not any disgusting over-sexualization, which is quite refreshing as well.

I'd say definitely give it a watch, you'll like it.
