BL METAMORPHOSIS, Canadian Premiere, TORONTO JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL

This heartwarming film adaptation of Tsurutani Kaori’s popular manga warmly depicts the friendship between two women fifty-eight years apart in age. Urara is a socially awkward 17-year-old high school student who doesn’t have any friends or a boyfriend. Her only enjoyment is secretly reading “boy’s love” manga. She works part-time as a cashier at a bookstore where she meets 78-year-old widow Yuki. Yuki happens to buy a BL manga due to its eye pleasing cover and is soon a fan of the manga genre. Based on their common interest, a friendship between Urara and Yuki blossoms and they decide to take on a challenge. A charming and lighthearted tale of a unique female friendship.
