Mousou Kanojo (2015)

28-year-old web writer, Takashima Keisuke, enjoys dates with his girlfriend Haru, and has been taking photographs of the two of them madly in love with each other and posting one photograph after another on social networking services. The two of them gradually move in and soon kiss. Keisuke also captures this moment on camera. However, passersby laugh derisively and stare at him with curiosity. This is because Keisuke has been taking the photographs alone with a long hair wig in his hand. His fantasy girlfriend “Haru” only exists in social networking services and is a product of his imagination. Keisuke took all the photographs of their “dates” alone. The editor Anzai Kohei watches Keisuke’s apparent satisfaction with the good photographs he has taken in amazement. He counsels him to get a real girlfriend. But Keisuke turns a deaf ear. On this day, Keisuke’s good friend, Kamakura Yuki, visits his house while he is taking lovey dovey shots with “Haru”. Yuki is similarly stunned, but does not seem to particularly mind his fantasy girlfriend. Keisuke has drinks with Anzai at a pub on the eve of his birthday. When asked about his ideal girlfriend, he starts to write about the preferred appearance and personality of his fantasy girlfriend. When he wakes up in his room the next morning, his “ideal girl” Haru is before him and she somehow behaves in the way that he fantasises. Keisuke gradually experiences a taste of romance. But is this situation imaginary? Or a reality?
