Our Neighbor, Miss Yae (隣の八重ちゃん, Tonari no Yae-chan) is a 1934 Japanese comedy-drama film written and directed by Yasujirō Shimazu.
[7] In a Tokyo suburb, Keitarō, the older son of the Arai family, and Yae, the younger daughter of the Hattori family, are not only neighbours and schoolmates, but also have developed unspoken feelings for each other.
After Mr. Hattori is transferred to Korea by his employer, Yae's and Keitarō's separation seems inevitable, but the Hattoris decide to leave Yae as a boarder with the Arais to finish high school.
In Kinema Junpo's list of the ten best Japanese films of 1934, Our Neighbor, Miss Yae ranked #2 behind Yasujirō Ozu's A Story of Floating Weeds.
[6] Our Neighbor, Miss Yae was shown at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive in 2005.
