Following up on the hit mini-series, “Ryusei no Kizuna” (Meteor Shower Bonds”), pop singing star and actor Ryo Nishikido joins forces with popular hit-making, director-writer Kankuro Kudo for an explosive new series that delves into eternal themes of “teen youth” and “passion” without all the angst!
Cheerful and fun, it depicts student life as a Shangri-La. Heisuke teaches at his alma mater, an all-boy’s Buddhist high school, and leads a very ordinary life… except for the fact that he is still tortured by the memory of an unfortunate incident that took place there involving him and his school 14 years ago.
In hopes of closure, he strikes upon a plan to jointly hold this year’s Culture Festival with a nearby girl’s school, with which there are chilly relations. Determined at all costs to make the event a success, Heisuke finds himself dealing with a constant stream of problems along the way.
A fun and feel good “springtime of youth” drama made the way it should be.
