ZENSHU Synopsis
After graduating from high school, Natsuko Hirose began her career as a cheerleader. Her talent blossomed quickly and in a short time she made her debut as a director. Her first anime becomes a massive success, sparking a social phenomenon and gaining recognition as a genius and promising director. Her next project is a romantic comedy about first love. However, having never fallen in love, Natsuko struggles to grasp the concept of first love, and as a result, is unable to create the storyboard, which brings the film's production to a halt.
