Another Disturbing Movie
Once again, I got the misfortune of watching another troubling Japanese movie.
The first one was a entitled 2LDK. 2LDK specifies an apartment with 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, and kitchen. The story revolved around the two roommates who were both vying for a lead role in a movie. Jealousy and and extreme differences led both women to kill each other.
Now, I’ve just finished watching 僕は妹に恋をする, read as “Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru“, which means “I Love My Younger Sister”. The title says it all. The lead character Yori Yuki, portrayed by Jun Matsumoto, had always been in love with his twin sister Iku. Iku, on the other hand had also been in love with Yori. I was hoping that the movie would at least clear things up and include something that would take off my mind from the incest going on this movie. However, the movie ended with the two of them still into the forbidden relationship.
This troubled me a lot so I had to do some research regarding this story which was based on the manga (comic) of the same title. To my relief, I found out that Iku was actually adopted. But I’m still troubled by the movie so I must watch another one that would eventually make me forget about it…

By that title alone, I will not watch that movie! Hey, since you’re into crunchyroll, try watching feel good dramas like “Love Generation” (Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako — my favorites!!) or Aishiteru to itte kure (very lovely theme song and story as well) or you could learn something for your daughter in 14 sai no haha.
I cried a bucket of tears for the 14 sai no haha drama, as in!

hi Grace!
I was thinking they fell in love knowing that they’re not really siblings… but it was the other way around. And I couldn’t stop watching coz I had to know that they’re not really blood-related… which frustratingly, the movie didn’t specify.
Thanks for the recommendation! Will look for that in Crunchyroll
