There are altogether 10 side stories to the movie The Liar and His Lover starring Satoh Takeru and at least the ones that focus on Aki and the band, Crude Play, are even better than the movie!The one where Aki first played his song to Shun. Or the one where Shun found out that Aki quit the band, his anger and sadness. Or the one told from the POV of their class president - I love outsider's POV! Or the one about Shinya, about his admiration for Aki - and about his inferiority complex, his certainty that he would never achieve Aki's greatness. The one about Aki's older sister. And the one about their manager, Takagi...
Holy smokes, the one about Takagi, though! That was honestly oh so creepy, the way he manipulated Aki, breaking him and remaking him into something else to "nurture" his song writing talent. When Takagi even sent his own lover to Aki and let her seduce him... Yikes! Takagi would've done anything to keep Aki miserable and under his control, the stuff in the movie was just the tip of the iceberg.
The side stories make the movie so much richer. After seeing them, I really didn't want to leave this "universe". There's so much untapped potential there. Ah-mazing!
