This Hulu original tells the story of Maeda Yumeko, a university student who chases her dreams as she aspires to become a manga artist. One day, she wins an award from a major publisher’s manga magazine. As a result, she teams up with hitmaker editor Mutsuki(?) to aim for her debut one-shot publication. However, Yumeko soon encounters the hardships of creation, fails to demonstrate her true potential and is rejected. Unable to regain her self confidence, she decides to take on the next major competition, the “Manga Future Grand Prize.” She tackles the romance genre for the first time, but struggles daily to draw what she truly wants. However, one night the manga she is working on materializes in her dream, and within it, she meets a man named Kanato who doesn’t act the way she wants him to.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
