Drawing magna-style comics is Angelas passion, but it wont get the dreamy, 18 year-old blonde out of her European hometown. Hungry for adventure, Angela spontaneously takes up the idea of Japanese DJ Yamamoto, whom she meets at her graduation party and flies to Tokyo to work as a hostess. Tokyo instantly casts its spell on the impressionable youth and her comics soon turn into animes threatening, violent action comics that unreel before her eyes with terrifying vividness. Angela plunges into a dark story of cruelty and murder, of naive young European women swallowed up into the brightly lit nights of downtown Tokyo, of men so powerful that even the police steer clear of them.

The Stratosphere Girl looked so promising—the poster got me excited, Tuva Novotny in the lead was a win, and the European collaboration of different countries hinted at something unique. The ratings even backed up the hype. But in the end, it’s a melancholy journey that leads to... sadly, nothing.
