She has been escaping reality by immersing herself in copying her favorite manga and illustrations in her room full of books and comics. Her father, Eisuke, worries a lot about her ever since he divorced with her mother, Mika. One day, Eisuke finds Mami a part-time job as a video game tester to find and report bugs in the company’s products. She accepts, thinking she can stay isolated from other people, until her colleague, Ryotaro, finds out her talent for drawing pictures.
By getting involved with new people and society, Mami tries to step out into a new world, but after years of mimicking other people’s works, she is unable to create something of her own…

A Japanese film - that’s always an uncertain bet. Their different thinking and behavior are a great unknown for me and so they often salvage themselves either with a screenplay or simply by not acting like the Japanese during a movie but rather like Europeans. Or they simply aren’t as annoying. Unfortunately, Her Sketchbook is a typical Japanese movie where a Japanese guy at work straight up tells you that if he messed up, he would rather hang himself. On top of that, the main protagonist goes through the movie as a mute mannequin from the Red District shop window in Amsterdam. A strange and peculiar movie with no emotions. Not a thing I’d like to see again.
