On the Veranda

Complete | Ichikawa Kei | 2000 released

I wish there was more of it. A man sees a ghost of a guy on his veranda. He smokes while the ghost drinks. The guy swears that he recognizes the ghost guy from somewhere. He realizes that the guy is his coworker. He sees the guy on the veranda every night. At work he hears the guy tell his coworkers that his girlfriend left him to marry someone else. He sees the ghost of the guy looking at his phone and crying that night. Another night he sees him jacking off and he does too. When the ghost starts to not come around anymore, he starts to realize that he misses him and that he seems to like the guy. It was very interesting and cute. I would have loved to see the characters get together, rather then be left with the idea and assumption that they do.
