SUMMER OF ’85

Two girls fail the entrance exam to a public high school and are forced to enter an all-girls school. A slapstick comedy about two girls who make a bet to see who will get a boyfriend first. The daily lives of the girls are depicted in an amusing manner, almost in a dotsuki manzai style. The sheer energy of the “life-sized girls,” played by the author herself, breaks through the fiction of the story, and the dynamism of their bodies and words is very refreshing.
