Comments: If a film about an anime otaku porn star is a deal breaker, it's a deal breaker. This is a guilty pleasure because it's played so well by the two leads. I knew I was going to like Lulu early on when, breaking away from her virgin shoot she runs to a corner of the room and ends up awkwardly unable to embrace a standing clothes closet, or rather, unable to be embraced by it. Ayano is just dark, tough, and hot. The last twenty minutes are terrible and silly, but everything up to that point is endearing. And it's got Makiko Wantanabe, as Lulu's sexually profligate mom.

Summary: Wouldn’t it be fun if you could become someone else?!

Her hobbies are reading and taking a walk in the park. Junko, a 22-year-old office clerk who lives a dull life under her mother’s thumb, gets recruited by a scout on the streets of Shibuya. “Are you enjoying life? Wouldn’t it be fun if you could become someone else?”

On the set of an adult film—. The male actors and the sex were scary and shocking, but it was refreshing and new. When Junko, with her stage name of Lulu, puts on a blond wig and wears an otaku costume, she feels like she’s become someone else. Working on the same set is Ayano, a former motorcycle gang member who struggles to control her bouts of rage while allowing her boyfriend to leech off her. For Ayano, Lulu is annoying and naïve but she can’t stop herself from worrying about her.

When Lulu’s popularity increases, a fan starts stalking her, Junko’s co-workers at the company find out about her job as Lulu, and her agent plans to cast her in a gangbang film. A troubled Lulu finds herself walking to Ayano’s apartment… Then one day, a porn actress commits suicide. The harsh reality of the actresses that are dispensed once they lose popularity also hits Lulu. Lulu feels that she finally find a place she belongs to. But is it really the place she could be herself?
