"One of the most critically acclaimed shojo manga of recent years in Japan - twice nominated for the Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize...winner of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! poll for best manga for women readers! "It's not the movies you like...you like watching the people watching the movies." Just what are you going to do with the rest of your life? It's the question you'll always have to answer, no matter your age. Umiko Chino is a 65 year-old grandmother who goes to the movie theater for the first time in years, where she meets Kai, an attractive, ambiguous young man who studies filmmaking at a nearby art school. They would seem to have nothing in common, except for this-both of them sometimes like to look more at the way the audience reacts to a movie than the movie itself. Kai believes Umiko has the same deep desire he possesses to experience how people respond to something they made...and challenges her to discover that thrill, no matter what the cost. Soon Umiko surprises herself by enrolling in the same film school as Kai! But sailing into this new sea, she's suddenly inside the currents of her fellow students' lives, a much younger generation that she struggles to understand, driven by their own passions and their own relationships. Who's really experienced at life, and is it old age or observation that brings wisdom? And does what you're looking for change when you look with your eyes instead of through a camera lens...?"-- Provided by publisher.
