Director Kentaro Otani once again delves into young love and friendship with a mix of light comedy and earnest drama, and though the results are certainly amiable and enjoyable they are never magical and heartwarmingly fuzzy as they were with his previous film, NANA. As most Japanese films seem to be these days, it is based on a manga from Adachi Mitsura and though this manga influence can be sensed at times the romantically troubled narrative would seem even more at home in a Japanese Dorama one of those snug eleven episodic series that they have mastered to perfection.

Ami (Masami Nagasawa “Touch”) and Keisuke (Mokomichi Hayami a television idol) first meet at a swimming competition where Keisuke is racing freestyle as is Ami’s mentor and “big brother” Hiroki. Hiroki is the best at this event in Japan and easily bests the much younger Keisuke, but after the race Keisuke bumps into Ami and is called a “murderer” by her. This leaves him speechless and confused and in typical Japanese adolescent male fashion unable to ask her what on earth she means by that. Later he gets the chance to discover why.

It turns out that both of them have enrolled in Eisen High School and will both be living at the dormitory for students with sports scholarships. Not really knowing much about the Japanese school system this sort of confused me is high school in Japan for much older students than in the United States because all the actors look and act much too old to be in a US high school (13-17 years old). Where are all the pimples. The title “Rough” comes from the fact that the dormitory monitor describes them as rough sketches to be filled in as they get older.
