Gyakko no Koro

[Machine Translation] Co-starring hot young actor Mahiro Takasugi and leading actress of the morning drama, Wakana Aoi! Set in Kyoto, this comfortable coming-of-age film captures the instability and fragility of adolescent boys. Based on the first work by Tanakatsuki, a manga artist and creator who became a household name with "Kop no Fukuchiko". Director Keiichi Kobayashi, who had longed to make a film based on the original story since he first encountered it in high school, took on the challenge of making a film based on the original story, which is said to be impossible to make into a film. --The film is set in Kyoto, an ancient city that evokes the history of Japan. Takayo Akada was born and raised in Kyoto. Takayutoyo is an ordinary high school sophomore who experiences friendships and fights with his classmates, and falls in love with a girl he has known since childhood.... He tries to take a step forward with a vague anxiety about life that only an adolescent can have.
