If you ever wondered why manga is so prevalent in modern Japanese culture, this film may offer some insight. Manga-ka (manga author) Sawako suspects that her husband is having an affair. Instead of confronting him directly, she finds a more creative way to drop the hint. The plot thickens as she starts taking a shine to someone else, prompting a comical game of cat and mouse. This wry and perceptive look at relationships and individualism seamlessly blends the artfulness of manga with real, live-action emotions for an affirmation that imitates art that imitates life.
