Ohisama (2011)

Both ...

-have the same backdrops of WW II on Japan
-have Inoue Mao in the same role as a wife waiting for her husband comeback from battlefield
-are story-telling style drama/movie

these two asadoras have so many resemblances, and I will reveal main storyline if I mention them one by one.
:D

but dont worry, ohisama is NOT kirari's copycat
ohisama have its own style and tell us different theme and life messages

Both stories are about teachers during the Second World War who have to cope with the effects of the war on their students.
