I started watching but right away I didn't like the fact that it looked like a movie. I kind of miss the "drama" feel of it when I watch. I don't like the fact the movie was FILMED and I'd much rather have seen it TAPED (like the dramas) but that's just me being particular.
For me, the movie starts of nice but then I got confused. After something was discovered, I was sure the movie was trying to make me think opposite of what I had grown accustomed to. After watching some more, I realized what was going on at the same time Domiyoji and Makino did. Things started to make sense.
As soon as I'm done watching the movie, I'll finish off HOTMAN 2 now that I have the episodes in order...I wasn't sure what I was going to watch after I was done with HOTMAN2 and by sheer luck, I found my next drama.
I was on Facebook when one of my J-Movie sites posted the 9th episode of a drama. I looked it up and found that it's a brand new one that is still running in Japan. It started in July; it's called "IS~Otoko demo Onna demo nai sei". I've started getting a few of the episodes already. Here is the synopsis I found in "Tokyograph":
“IS” stands for “intersexual,” a term referring to people who cannot clearly be classified as male or female, and who may biologically possess characteristics of both sexes. Rokuhana's manga primarily deals with the troubles faced by the young Hoshino Haru (played by Fukuda), an intersexual who was registered as a girl at birth but has been raised as a boy.
Goriki plays Aihara Miwako, a mysterious classmate who tries to get close to Haru. Inoue Masahiro has been cast as Ibuki Kenji, a member of the soccer club whom Haru begins having feelings for. Nishida Naomi and Minami Kaho play Miwako's and Haru's mothers, respectively.
