Katagiri Hairi

Mitsuko Kuroda (Nounen Rena) is 31-years-old and lives alone and is very happily single. She enjoys every moment of her life alone – but she never really feels alone because she has developed an alter-ego named A (Tomoya Nakamura) who dwells with her in her head. She has frequent conversations with A, who provides useful advice and sometimes berates her. Unfortunately, sometimes she has these conversations with A in public, leading to frequent misunderstandings!

But when she meets a younger man, a salesman named Tada (Kento Hayashi), she suddenly starts to question if her single life really is all that great. With A’s advice – or perhaps despite it – she decides to explore her emotions for Tada, albeit in the most awkward manner imaginable!

This film was based on a 2017 novel by the writer Rita Wataya.

“Hold Me Back” is a 2020 Japanese romantic-comedy movie that was directed by Akiko Ohku.

Yoshika Eto (Matsuoka Mayu) has always been a dreamer. As a young child, her days were full of fantasies. And the undisputed prince of all her dreams was Ichi (Takumi Kitamura), a tall, good-looking high school classmate. She would once while away the hours drawing comics where Ichi featured as a heroic prince. In real life, though, she was always too shy to approach him.

Now, many years later, she still dreams of Ichi. She works as a junior accountant and has never had a boyfriend. But one day she resolves to change all that – and organizes a high school reunion (using a fake name), so she can have the chance to meet him again. Meanwhile, a bumbling and loud co-worker named Kirishima (Daichi Watanabe) has developed a crush on her. Initially, Yoshika Eto isn’t keen, but eventually agrees to go on a date with him, pleased to finally have an admirer.

But as the school reunion approaches, she will finally meet Ichi again – will he turn out to be the Prince Charming of his dreams, or should she turn her romantic attentions to the goofy by loving Kirishima?
