No Longer Heroine

# Japanese
# 1 girl, 2 boys
# Guy steals first kiss
# Manga-based
# In Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai, the first male lead kisses her and confuses her, while in Heroine Disqualified the 2nd male lead does so.

It's about a girl who's in love with her childhood friend and wants to be his girlfriend, but encounters several difficulties along the way. Of course, another guy appears who suddenly kisses her and confuses her. He's extremely nice, but her childfriend keeps their relationship cool.

Well-meaning but socially awkward, Kuronuma Sawako is nicknamed "Sadako" by her high school classmates because of her similar hair style with the main character from the horror movie "Ring." She doesn't have friends and goes about her day in quiet. She admires a fellow classmate, Kazehaya Shota, because of his easy-going and friendly nature, but unknown to her, Kazehaya has also been paying attention to her.

When they were middle school students, Aihara Eiji and Bessho Naohiko attended the same school, and they were best friends. One day, Eiji’s childhood friend Shiosaki Izumi transferred to their school. Eiji had feelings for Izumi, but he never told her how he felt. Naohiko though confessed his feelings to Izumi and they became boyfriend and girlfriend. Now, all 3 are first-year high school students and attend the same school. There, they meet Fujimura Koharu, who begins to have feelings for Naohiko, Senami Taichi, who is a member of a band, and Ikezawa Mizuho, who is a literary girl and likes Eiji.

Similar story 2 ML & 1 FL, friends from younger days until they getting older. A twist of youth love along the way. Ray Zhang too adorable as always! Both movies a must watch movies with different story line. Inseparable childhood friends Shou Heng and Cheng Shing have their world thrown into chaos when a new girl comes to town and falls for Shou Heng.

Similar shoujo appeal, terrible misunderstandings but endearing plot lines! Untypical main leads, but both are undeniably loveable. Second male lead is played by the same actor.

- They're friends before being a couple
- The heroine will always be in love with him no matter what
- The ML has to learn how to love/forgive himself to accept her feelings
- The cute popular outgoing second ML, they're very similar in the 2 movies.
- The "sick" girl tryna snatch the ML.

Heroine Disqualified characters are more detailed tho.

Miyu and Shuya are high school students. They have dated for 2 years. Miyu and Shuya have a promise that no matter what, they will watch a movie together on the first day of each new month. When Miyu and Shuya are on their way to the movie theater, Shuya suddenly cancels their date. Shuya seems like he is hiding something and he acts nervous. Later, Miyu goes to the place where she is supposed to meet Shuya, but she witnesses Shuya getting into a car accident. She panics, but when she wakes up she finds herself on the morning of the accident. Miyu keeps waking up on the day when Shuya got into an accident.

Female lead of both stories realize they are not as important as they think.

In Extraordinary You, the main lead finds out she's an extra character in web comic.

Heroine Disqualified is set in real world but main lead is self-centered and thinks the world revolves around her as if she's a main character in shoujo manga. She is not.

- ML & FL know each other before being a couple
- The FL will always be in love with ML no matter what eventhough ML rejected FL before coz he got gf that time
- The ML has to learn how to love/forgive himself to accept her feelings
- The cute popular outgoing second ML, they're very similar in the 2 movies.
- Based on manga/comic book

It has the same concept of a young, teenage girl caught up in her own little world. In Heroine Disqualified, the main girl is stuck on the idea of her life being a manga/drama, while in Switch Girl!!, the main girl is stuck on the idea of being a role model to her peers. Both dramas are very animated and the main girls are both very lively. They also have similar best friends, and the main love interest are both kind of calm and collected. Also, I think that the main girls kind of look like each other.

both have similar, pastel-colored vibes, and both are of the comedy/shoujo genre. there's also love triangle (square? pentagon?) drama in both.

Both have a love triangle
And in both you will have the secong lead syndrome
But both are amazing movies
personal note: both are my favorite japanese movies.

Akoko and Mitsuki are two childhood friends that are so different, yet they still get along well. What happens when they both catch feelings for the same boy? Of course, they're shaken, but good friends shouldn't fight for a boy... right?

same male lead - Kento Yamazaki ~ high school rom-com
L heart DK based on manga, two high school students lived in the same apartment complex and turn of events male and female lead will share the same apartment room.

Main girl in both are quite exaggerated, although I would say Itazura na kiss is more extreme, but both also have similar plots I guess, same kind of ending I would say.
