Koroki (Satoshi Tsumabuki) needs to man up! His new job at lifestyle mag, Malet, is only for the ultracool, so he vows to copy the coolest man he knows, real-life grungy hipster pop star, Tamio Okuda, which gives the movie its Japanese title: A Boy Who Wished to Be Okuda Tamio and a Girl Who Drove All Men Crazy. Koroki wins the admiration of his colleagues with his Tamio Okuda act, but he also attracts the attention of Akari (Kiko Mizuhara), the publicist for a fashion brand who's weaponzied her sex appeal into a weapon of mass distraction. Too cute, too sexy, and too perfect to possibly be for real, wherever Akari goes, she leaves a trail of slain men gasping at her feet, and Koroki is no exception. But isn't this all an act? Probably. So what happens when he stops pretending to be Tamio Okuda, and she lets her guard down? (Fantasia International Film Festival)
