About the film

What it’s about

Isaku Senagaki, granddaughter of a yakuza boss, is about to start high school far from home. She hopes to leave her family's reputation behind and experience ordinary friendships and romance. But her overprotective guardian, Keiya Uto, the 26-year-old head of the Senagaki group, falsifies his age and enrolls in the same school. He insists that love is too early for her, while she has secretly harbored feelings for him for a long time.

What hooks you

Keiichi Kobayashi directs this adaptation of a popular manga, with Riko Fukumoto as Isaku and Jesse as Keiya. The story blends yakuza family dynamics with school-life comedy and melodrama.

Who it’s for
