Love Strikes!

2010 · 1 season

A giddy, deadpan comedy of sudden popularity, full of awkward inner monologue and cringe that stays light and oddly sweet.

Overview: Moriyama plays a temp worker who has never had any luck with women. One day, he suddenly starts getting invitations from several beautiful women, and he finds himself confused about how to deal with this new experience of having a "moteki" (a period when one is very popular and attractive to others).
How it feels: Whimsical, absurd, satirical and romantic. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, love, loneliness, obsession
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
