More Than Friends, Less Than Loves (1989)
A group of average college students go about their daily lives without a clear goal in mind. The protagonist, Ryoji, wavers between several girlfriends while maintaining a delicate relationship between "more than a friend, less than a lover". Their youth is in full bloom. But the day will come when they will have to say goodbye to their flexible relationship. The anxiety and emptiness of a young man who has taken the first step on the road to adulthood are portrayed with such naturalism and freshness that one wonders if it was staged.
