Tonari No Ano Ko Wa Kikoku Chijo Rj01020541

The title says it all—she isn't just the girl next door; she is a self-proclaimed "pervert" ( chijo ) who has seemingly returned solely to claim the protagonist. The dynamic flips the standard script, placing the heroine in a position of power and unrelenting desire.

Miyu blinked. The term “Project KIKOKU” sounded like something out of a classified file, not a kid’s notebook. “What’s that?” she asked, trying not to sound too alarmed.

Kaito turned to Miyu, his face serene. “It’s time.”

He lifted his hand, and a wave of luminescent water rose from the floor, spilling out of the basement and into the hallway, flowing up the stairwell, out onto the balcony. The rain merged with the water, creating a shimmering river of silver that wrapped around the building.

At first glance, Tonari no Ano Ko wa Kikoku Chijo (RJ01020541) seems like your typical "rich overseas returnee" setup — but the execution makes it stand out. The heroine has a refined, elegant way of speaking, yet she’s completely clueless about everyday life in Japan, which leads to some genuinely cute and funny moments.

  • Several filmed adaptations of Hamlet, ranging from a 1940’s retelling set in post-war London, to slapstick Shakespeare in Hamlet Stooged!, and a musical rendition, Heavy Metal Hamlet, performed by the experimental Australian theatre troupe, OzFrank

  • Adaptations of Macbeth, including Gregory Doran’s acclaimed RSC production with cast and director interviews and OzFrank’s inversion of the classic: Voodoo Macbeth

This collection includes rare footage, often from smaller theatre troupes whose experimental interpretations can provide a more comprehensive understanding of theatre in general and of particular plays. Please note that smaller theatre companies sometimes have lower budgets, which can impact production values.

Synchronised transcripts and closed captions for this collection are being added to videos on a rolling basis. All videos will have transcripts by December 2023. Where films in these collections are in a language other than English, captions will appear on the video and may not always be accessible to screen readers. tonari no ano ko wa kikoku chijo rj01020541
