My friend and I both liked Hiromitsu a lot. Although his development could be compared to Aoha Ride too (as well as probably a ton of other shojo manga), his honesty with himself and with Hatori kept the plot from dragging on. If Hatori was one strength of the movie, then the other characters can also be included in that. My friend and I both really liked the side character/Hatori’s other love interest, Hiromitsu Kousuke. The actress, Kiritani Mirei was convincing and expressive, and the movie wouldn’t have been so funny if she hadn’t continued to keep up her exaggerated style of acting and fast-paced line delivery. At the beginning of the movie, I wasn’t sure if I would like her or not, but by the end, her persistence had really grown on me. The text that appears in the movie is used a little like in “ Nazotoki,” and some of the plot points remind me of Ao Haru Ride, but one thing that made this movie strong was that it took certain common, stereotypical situations from the shojo (girls’ manga) genre and took them to new extremes that were pretty hilarious. Hatori is also a whole new level of dramatic, which might come across as annoying at first, but her performance in the movie ended up being really funny and enjoyable, not just noisy. She views him as the hero and herself as the heroine, but is shocked when Rita begins to fall for another girl, and works throughout the movie to “get him back.”ĭon’t be discouraged by the trailer! The trailer makes this movie look overdone and stereotypical, but actually, it really only covers plot points, and in my opinion doesn’t represent the heart of the movie. Heroine Shikakku is about a high school girl named Hatori who has been best friends with a boy named Rita since childhood.
I haven’t read the manga Heroine Shikakku is based on, and to be honest, I thought that the movie seemed pretty dumb from the trailer, but my friend wanted to see it, and I like to see Japanese movies, so I gave it a try–and I’m glad I did!
