Product Description

Japanese Girls Never Die, but living isnt easy either in Daily Lives of High School Boys director Matsui Daigos colorful & hyperactive post-modern opus, which played in competition at the 2016 Tokyo International Film Festival. Based on a novel by Yamauchi Mariko, the inventive multi-thread film starring Aoi Yu ( Rurouni Kenshin) & Takahata Mitsuki ( Evergreen Love) kinetically exposes the difficulties & frustrations of being a woman in a misogynistic society.

Haruko (Aoi Yu) is a single 28-year-old woman who lives with her parents, works at an unrewarding job, harbors an unrequited crush on her neighbor & goes about her unexciting daily life. One day, she suddenly disappears on a shopping street. After her disappearance, her "e;missing"e; poster image begins to appear all around town because of graffiti artists Manabu (Hayama Shono, Yell for the Blue Sky) & Yukio (Taiga, Harmonium) & Yukios clingy girlfriend Aina (Takahata Mitsuki). Meanwhile, the news blasts reports of a gang of schoolgirls who go around attacking men on the streets at night.
