Handsome Girl Watch See Handsome na Kanojo

Handsome na Kanojo
Watch 15 year old Mio Nagiwara has been an actress since she was a child, enjoys it, and considers it just "a matter of routine". Then one day she meets a strange boy who gives her a frank, knowledgeable and not particularly flattering assessment of her skills. It turns out that her critic, Kumagai Ichiya, is an old acquaintance of Mio's best friend, and an aspiring film director. He introduces her to the concept of "Handsome Women"--those who are "cool, sophisticated and imposing". Ichiya has been looking for just such a girl, and despite his earlier comments, thinks Mio might be just the one. As they work together, with Ichiya seemingly interested only in her potential as an actress, Mio can't help thinking "I wish he'd notice me"...
