Happy Friday! I hope the first Friday of February has treated you well ♡
In Japan, there are mobile novel sites/apps dedicated for people writing original stories. Some stories get really famous and are published, and occasionally they are made into movies.
携帯彼氏 Mobile Boyfriend is one of those stories found on mobile novel sites.
The basic plot:
Mobile Boyfriend is an app where you can create your ideal boyfriend and exchange messages on a daily basis to move the 'Love Gauge' up and down. However, rumours begin circulating that if the Love Gauge reaches either 100% or 0%, the player dies under mysterious circumstances.
After her class mate Mayumi's suicide, shocked Satomi (Umika Kawashima, 9nine) and Satomi (Aki Asakura) begins to find out the truth behind their friend's death, and comes to the conclusion that Mayumi's virtual 'Mobile Boyfriend' Riku is somehow related to it.
I'm not good at summing things up, and I didn't want to spoil anything... so that is all you get from me about the story.
It's not your typical bloody gory Japanese horror like 呪怨 The Grudge, but I did find the concept of having a mobile boyfriend that could kill you kind of creepy.
Here are some screen shots from the movie:
Umika Kawashima is just so adorable ♡
You can watch the whole film on YouTube with subtitles here.
I think non-horror movie fans could enjoy this too.
There are sequels to this, and I hope to write about it one day!
Have a nice weekend, and see you next Friday ♡
