Marmalade Boy (2018)
Marmalade Boy is a live action movie based of the manga of the same name. I never read the manga or saw the anime, but its seems to be popular. The story is basically a forbidden relationship between a step sister and brother. This isn't something I would be into at all, but I watched it because Yoshizawa Ryo is in it. Its not a bad movie if you don't mind the weird relationship, but it seems to be a bit different from the manga so it not be what you expected if you've read the manga.
There's other weird relationships going on as well besides the step sibling one. The teens are living in the same house as their parents. Both their parents have swapped partners and have known each other for a long time. The main girl, Miki, was very against it all but she end up falling for the boy named Yuu. I don't think the parents married to their new partner so I don't think they're officially step siblings since all they said was that they're divorcing and all living together. The real drama is that Yuu thinks his real father is a different man so he deduces he and Miki might be related. While this whole story is weird, its not as weirdly shot or told as some other stuff I've seen Ryo in so I don't think this is too bad. Its hard for me to really to say whether I can recommend this or not.
