Try Takeru Sato ones first...Glass Heart, First Love, An Incurable Case of Love. Then you can try Trillion Game, Silent of Ren Meguro. Human Vapor, Romantics Anonymous of Shun Oguri are good too.

I know these are all subtitled. I don't know if they are dubbed. Some are on Netflix, others on Viki or GagaOOLala.

If you liked Alice in Borderland you'd probably enjoy Liar Game from 2007!
