Never ever judge a book by its cover! That's one of the comedic lessons learned in
Boku to Kanojo no XXX (a.k.a.
Your and My Secret), the live action film adaptation of Morinanga Ai's popular manga. Takahashi Mai, who has appeared in such films as Sono Shion's
Strange Circus and Miike Takashi's
The Great Yokai War, plays high school student Momoi Nanako. While Nanako may indeed appear unbelievably adorable on first glance, she's not one bit as sweet as her cutesy image would suggest. In fact, she's annoying, quick-tempered, and prone to fits of violence. Clearly, she's not a nice girl.
For some odd reason, a somewhat dainty, effeminate young man named Uehara Akira (Shioya Shun, from Girl's Life Tokyo Noir and TV's Designer) has taken a fancy to Nanako. In a strange twist of fate, Akira bumps into Nanako's mad scientist of a grandfather. While the not-so-good doctor is performing an experiment on Nanako to test a person's thoughts, an accident occurs, causing Nanako and Akira to switch bodies! Hilarity ensues as the Akira unintentionally "feminizes" Nanako while his mind is stuck in her body, earning the undue attention of his long-time friends! While fending off his classmates' advances, Akira is eager to switch back to his old body and get everything back to normal. One problem though: Nanako is just having too much fun as a guy to change back to her old self! Also starring Suzuki Akie, Fujisawa Taigo (from Sayonara Midori), and Sato Masahiro, Boku to Kanojo no XXX looks to be an uproarious, gender-bending comedy!
