Shin Virgin Boy's Story 2: Close to You

About This Movie

Shin Virgin Boy's Story 2: Close to You is a curious blend of comedy, crime, and romance, set in Japan and quite different from mainstream fare. The film brings back the same crew, but you can tell it’s a direct-to-video project—there's a certain rawness to it. The pacing feels a bit uneven, which could be jarring but also adds to its charm. The humor often comes off as quirky and offbeat, with moments that catch you off guard. Practical effects are minimal, but they do the job in a low-budget way. Performances can vary, but there's a genuine feel in the camaraderie of the characters. It’s this mix that makes it an interesting watch for collectors who appreciate the off-kilter side of early '90s cinema.
