SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like Tremble All You Want, this is a warmly offbeat Japanese romantic comedy about insecure longing and the nerve required to accept genuine affection, with an especially tender, playful tone.
02
Why this pick
Its youthful romantic yearning and emotionally direct heroine echo Yoshika’s attachment to an idealized past, while the heightened premise gives the love story a wistful, bittersweet momentum.
03
Why this pick
A carefully constructed Japanese romance that shares the source film’s nostalgia, awkward courtship, and interest in how private fantasies shape the way people interpret love.
04
Why this pick
For its persistent pull of first love and the gap between romantic memory and adult life, this is a more reflective, melancholic companion to Tremble All You Want.
05
Why this pick
This sly, emotionally perceptive relationship comedy similarly uses an unusual premise to examine idealization, intimacy, and the awkward distance between what people desire and what they can say.

01 / THE STORY
Virgin twenty-something girl is neat, talented and professional, although almost too much of all these. She is an office lady who still romanticizes a school-mate, but has the opportunity to move on and forward with a man at an after-work get-together. She hesitates yearning for the man she loved at school and happens to meet him again soon enough. Will she choose option A, B or something else we can call C?
