Weather Woman is a satirical take on Japanese TV culture that became a hit in both manga and film. The story follows Keiko, an ambitious weather reporter who boosts her ratings by gradually removing her clothes on air. Minoru, who's hopelessly attracted to her, keeps trying to protect her from herself—only to get taken advantage of repeatedly. Meanwhile, Michiko works undercover as Keiko's maid, spying on her for unknown reasons and finding herself in increasingly awkward situations. The manga spawned a cult film that turned lead actress Kei Mizutani into a star. The movie screened at international film festivals and generated serious buzz when it premiered in America, with Mizutani making a memorable appearance at San Diego Comic-Con. It's a fun, irreverent romp that pokes fun at the pressure cooker world of television and what people will do to stay relevant.
