Ocean Waves
Umi ga Kikoeru
Ocean Waves is high school love story set in Kochi, Japan. Morisaki Taku and Matsuno Yutaka are best friends when a girl from Tokyo named Muto Rikako transfers to their school. Excluding herself from group activities, she’s eventually labeled a snob. Matsuno has a crush on Rikako, so it’s no surprise that he gets a little jealous when Morisaki and Rikako start spending more time together. The rumors around school get worse, but Morisaki still insists there is nothing between him and Rikako.
What a vibe this movie is! Great underrated drama by Ghibli.

A contained, minimalist, yet captivating drama. A simple and maybe an unfortunate one, but a worthy watch.

Not every story ought to have a lot going on; sometimes, boring realism does its part too.
It's like "Norwegian Wood," except less sad and depressing, and more inconsequential.
a dull, frustrating tale of a cluless guy who falls in love with a selfish, narcissistic girl.
Despite being one of the lesser known Ghibli films, it is worth checking out.
