It’s one cute movie that’s heart-touching! :)
In this crazy world of vanity where physical attraction is the main ingredient to gain admiration (or even LOVE), we sometimes lose ourselves just to “fit in”; to be accepted by everybody.
The movie captures the kind of comedy we see on Manga, cartoon-like and entertaining. :)

Takuro (Muga Tsukaji) - the main character, has a golden heart yet many people (those who do not know him personally) quickly judge him just because he looks ugly. They accuse him of being malicious and perverted. Even children laugh at him. His friends call him “Butaro” – where buta is japanese for pig, and taro, from his name Takuro.

Hiroko (Keiko Kitagawaa) - Takuro’s love interest. Well…who wouldn’t fall in love with her?

The solution to his big fat ugly problem!

Takuro + Handsome Suit = Annin
______________________________________________________________________________________
Annin (Shosuke Tanihara), Takuro’s transformed body, is amazingly handsome! ♥
As viewpoints varies from one to another, the standard for handsome varies too but Shosuke Tanihara was able to turn in a convincing charming performance as the guy that has women swooning all over and yet retain that fumbling mannerism of a fat ugly desperate guy.
The movie is funny throughout in depicting Takuro’s adventures and experiences. You’ll find yourself laughing at his awkward transformation into a hunk and his bid to lead both lives.
In the end, he had to choose between the 2 physical bodies.. which one to keep, and which one to throw away? If you were Takuro, who would you choose?
Would you discard everything to pursue superficial perfection?
Is what is on the outside what ultimately counts?
Watch the movie to find out Takuro’s choice. ☺
