A Girl in My Room (2022)

A fantasy romantic comedy based on the popular comic by the manga artist, YAMAMOTO Chugaku, supported by the younger generation. The story follows Yohei, a heartbroken young man who gets dumped by his girlfriend. Suddenly, a girl ghost appears in Yohei’s room. As she had never experienced love during her lifetime, she becomes curious about romantic relationships between men and women. She bombards Yohei with questions every day, initially annoying him, and he tries to find a way to exorcise her. However, as he spends more time with her, he begins to feel comfortable with her, realizing she is just like a normal human girl. The film is an all-Onomichi locating, and Cinema Onomichi, which appears in the film as well, highly recommends it, praising the beautiful scenery of Onomichi. They commend the film’s direction and cinematography for showcasing the city’s hidden charms that even the locals might not have noticed, making it an excellent piece of work.
