Sensei, Would You Sit Beside Me?
This wry and perceptive look at relationships and individualism seamlessly blends the artfulness of manga with real, live-action emotions for an affirmation that imitates art that imitates life.
If you ever wondered why manga is so prevalent in modern Japanese culture, this film may offer some insight. Manga-ka (manga author) Sawako suspects that her husband is having an affair. Instead of confronting him directly, she finds a more creative way to drop the hint. The plot thickens as she starts taking a shine to someone else, prompting a comical game of cat and mouse. This wry and perceptive look at relationships and individualism seamlessly blends the artfulness of manga with real, live-action emotions for an affirmation that imitates art that imitates life.
