Synopsis
College student witnesses fatal accident and becomes entangled with mysterious girl "U.U." in psychological thriller about art and purpose.
Biking home after another day at college, the protagonist witnesses a terrible accident: a young girl crossing the street is hit and killed by a truck. However, to his horror and amazement, the girl's friend calmly puts away the game she had been playing before rushing to the lifeless body of her companion. He leaves the scene thoroughly shaken, having no idea about the true significance of this event and what this strange girl has in store for her unsuspecting witness. An adaptation of the light novel by ISIN NISIO, Shoujo Fujuubun is a psychological thriller that follows an aspiring author through his extraordinary experience with a girl he nicknames "U.U." More than just a thriller, it also deals with themes such as the human struggle to find purpose and the social utility of art.
