defense & offense: love fight

If you weren't crazy about Fly Daddy Fly (or were just as ambivalent about it as I was), here's another one to sink your teeth into: a little Japanese coming-of-age movie called Love Fight.

Minoru (Kento Hayashi) has spent most of his life being protected by his spunky female best friend Aki (Kie Kitano). Fed up, he decides to take up boxing. However, just as he manages to get stronger than Aki she becomes obsessed with boxing herself.

Second part in next post.

defense & offense: love fight (cont)

Continuing with shots from Love Fight, but still minimal spoilers. (Basically, you won't see anything here that isn't covered or implied in the synopsis.)

...and that's where I'll leave it. The rest is for you to watch, unless you already have (or will and don't care about spoilers), in which case read the next post, at http://kaigou.dreamwidth.org/417316.html. If you'd rather avoid spoilers, stop here.
