With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anime fans and anyone in the mood for a love story. Made in the anime tradition: bold, emotional and willing to go dark. A good follow-up to To All the Boys I've Loved Before.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 10 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
Makoto's grandfather was the principal of the great Onodera Academy, and when he passed away, he left Makoto and his school staff with one very important will - "The one man who is able to seduce Makoto with his superb sexual techniques will be given the right to take over as Onodera Academy's new principal!" Because of this ridiculous last request, Makoto is now every faculty member's target for sexual harassment! Desperate to protect his virginity, Makoto seeks help from his childhood friend (and the man who he has always loved), Kintaro.
