Japanese girl culture acquires a new voice with the release of "Sekai no Owari to Iunano Zakkaten (A Zakka Shop Called The End of the World)," a lovingly crafted debut feature by Kiseki Hamada. Though he's in his mid-30s, Hamada certainly knows his urban-girlhood world, which he balances with his own perceptions of what that girlhood should be.
