KONBINI GIRL by Yûho Ishibashi
At 24, Nozomi left her business suit for the modest uniform of a convenience store.

But when a former high school friend appears at the "konbini," her routine is disrupted, forcing her to face her life choices.
GIVE ME A SIGN by Mipo O
As a child, Haru saw no difference: with deaf parents, everything was simple, full of love and understanding. But growing up, he discovers the weight of others' judgment and the power of words – the ones his father and mother miss. Between joys and frustrations, Haru learns that "talking" can sometimes unite as much as divide.
SHAM by Takashi Miike
Seiichi Yabushita, an elementary school teacher, strives to be strict but fair.

Caught in the turmoil, Yabushita tries to defend his own truth... at the risk of it turning against him.

SEPPUKU: THE HONOR OF A SAMURAI by Yuji Yakizaki
In Edo, Kyūzō, vassal of the shogun, is sentenced to take his own life for a trivial yet unforgivable offense: scratching his lord’s bow.

Kyūzō has only a few hours left: will he be bound by honor, or reclaimed by life?
UNDER THE KYOTO SKY by Akiko Ohku
In Kyoto, between university and a part-time job at a public bath, Toru always keeps his umbrellas close, as shields against the outside world. When he meets Hana, mysterious, radiant, and fragile, a connection forms between them... before she suddenly disappears.
