Remember the 2015 comedy “Onna Michi” where we were proposed with the notion that svelte and sexy Nana Katase would someday become Eri Watanabe when she is visited by her self some 30 years from the future? And how unbelievable that was to swallow, as Nana would have to change her whole body type, bone structure, height, and voice to become even remotely similar to Eri?
Well, dig in your heels because we’re going to go there once again, this time with the fun romp “Ore no Kawaii wa Mousugu” starring Ryosuke Yamada as Kosuke Maruya, a young guy who gets visited by an unbelievable future self from 30 years in the future (Arata Furuya) who tells him that he will soon be losing his good looks and along with it, his fortunes!!!
Maruya is a guy who grew up with no discernible talents except for a certain "cuteness" about him and dazzling smile which charms all those around him and has made him a star agent for a marketing company. He has the looks, a high position at work and even a beautiful girlfriend!
He is high on life and doesn't believe the old man's claims taht he will lose his cuteness and his winning streak! But soon things will be changing!
He and his partner Kaburagi (Takaya Sakoda) are given two new employees to train, the energetic and over-eager Ichinose (Ohashi Kazuya)..and the cold and dour Izumi Sanada (Kyoko Yoshine)!
They are instructed to take them along on their sales, and Maruya is stunned when the charismatic Ichinose manages to steal his client away from him at his very first meeting with them! Maruya doesn't realize it, but his decline is about to begin!
One by one, Maruya starts losing things he took for granted and is even DUMPED by his girlfriend (Riho Sayashi) on the anniversary of their relationship!!
Maruya's future self can only apologize to him for what's to come of his sad destiny, which devastates Kosuke. In the blink of an eye, he's lost everything meaningful to him...and without his natural charm, how can he ever get back to the man he once was? It seems bleak...
Fortunately for him, there is one person who doesn’t seem fazed by his sudden unfortunate streak- his dour and reserved trainee Sanada, who, though seemingly cold and unfeeling,may be the only one who can see the ‘real” Kosuke” beneath his ‘fake” exterior…
Looks like this might be the beginning of a new and interesting relationship beginning between the two!! Can't wait to see what develops!!!
Just as Nana/Eri did in Onna Michi, it is inconceivable to the viewer that there is ANY WAY Ryosuke would turn into Arata no matter how long, without changing his entire physical shape, but for the sake of the drama, I guess we’ll go along with it!
Looks to be a fun one!
