Secondhand bookstore owner Tada (Seto Koji) can’t forget Ikka (Sato Honami), a former colleague at his old job, despite the fact that one of his regular customers, Misaki (Kawai Yumi), persistently asks him to marry her. Meanwhile, Ikka feels overwhelmed by preparations for her wedding to Ryosuke (Nakajima Ayumu), but has no idea that he has been seeing their wedding planner on the side.

Winner of Best Screenplay at the Udine Far East Film Festival, Hideo Jojo's LOVE NONETHELESS is a “smart sex comedy” that is “mindful of changing social attitudes” while also providing “laugh-out-loud moments” (The Japan Times).

“Warmhearted and empathetic in its forgiveness of its messy protagonists’ many flaws, Jojo’s steamy drama never pretends love is easy but suggests it comes in many forms.” –Windows on Worlds
