Feb 13: J-Film: MY love STORY!!

Thursday, February 13th at 6:30 PM

Live adaptation of the unique girls' manga and anime that follows the slapstick romantic antics of a pure-hearted and sincere guy with the looks of a meathead.

The film recreates the humorous appearance of the characters in the original story, with lead actor Suzuki Ryohei putting on 30 kg especially for the role.

First-year high school student Goda Takeo is a gentle-hearted guy, though you'd never guess it by his fierce face and lumberjack physique. He's clumsy but warmhearted, and gets along great with other guys but most girls generally find him repulsive. As a result, he's been pretty unlucky in love his entire life. (Unlike his ridiculously handsome childhood friend Sunakawa Makoto.)

One day, he rescues the beautiful Yamato Mei from the unwanted advances of another guy and for him it's love at first sight. But how does Yamato feel about it?

Starring SUZUKI Ryohei, NAGANO Mei, SAKAGUCHI Kentaro

In Japanese with English subtitles | Not Rated | 2015 | 105 min | Directed by KAWAI Hayato
