He manages to make being a total square attractive. Tadanobus Asano (in a complete 180 from his role as Ichi) effectively tempers the seriousness of his role with an appealing blend of bumble and earnestness. We’re introduced to a quiet, obsessive compulsive, suicidal and lonely man named Kenji, a librarian.

Neighbors begin to turn up dead and friends begin to warn Mak about his “wife”. Months later, after recuperating from a serious war injury, Mak returns and is reunited with Nak.
