Nishi has always loved Myon since they were little. And now as adults, he wants to pursue his dream of becoming a manga artist and marrying his childhood sweetheart. There's one problem, though. She's already been proposed to and thinks Nishi is too much of a wimp. But upon meeting the fiancé while at her family's diner and accepting him as a good guy, they encounter a couple of yakuza, only to have Nishi grasp a certain revelation. And, with his newly acquired look on life, adventures abound as he, Myon, and her sister, Yan, escape the yakuza into a most unlikely location where they meet an old man... Contains the film on Blu-Ray in Japanese with English subtitles.

Mind Game indeed
I was surprised to find this film was made in 2004 - it seems far more in the spirit of Ralph Bakshi with its mixture of animation, rotoscoping and photographic image.Its certainly wild....at the risk of spoilering, there are quite a few sequences that put me in mind of the later stages of Disneys Pinocchio (to detail would spoil)An interesting film, but not ultimately to my taste, a bit too self consciously wacky for that.technical quality good, extras limited.
