Ibuki Arakuni is a high school student who is far from a model student. He has a childhood friend, Akabane Honeko, who attends the same high school as Ibuki Arakuni. One day, a yakuza boss appears in front of Ibuki Arakuni and tells him that Akabane Honeko is his secret daughter. Due to conflicts within the yakuza, Akabane Honeko’s life is in danger. A bounty of 10 billion yen has been offered to the person who kills her. The yakuza boss asks Ibuki Arakuni to protect his daughter without her knowing. Ibuki Arakuni becomes Akabane Honeko’s bodyguard and struggles to protect her.

Very much an anime-style live action.

Overall, it is what it says on the tin. A mind-free action comedy.

Personally wasn’t all too sure about Raul’s yankee talk, felt a little idol-actor to me (which, to be fair, he is), however Tsuchiya Tao really stole the show here. The eccentricity and costume paired with, by far, the most entertaining and interesting character.

Plot wise it felt pretty standard, and as far as live action adaptations go, visually, they went the eccentric, anime-style route, which, to their credit, worked well paired with the over the top, anime-style acting.

Personally, the music detracted in a few moments for me. Might be a personal taste thing but there you go. Personally won’t revisit this.

Love it

It's late here and I should be in bed but here I am writing this review.

I loved the movie and it's been a while since I've seen my baby Raul on screen so i was I was a bit excited.
But what surprised me the most was Tao and Ano, tbh I didn't check the cast, I just saw Raul and I was instantly on board, but Tao was amazing, her character is my favourite and I wish she had some kind of happy end despite being a side character. As for Ano, just seeing her is enough for me to smile ❣️ she is the cutest ever.

Now the story is based on manga which is why we can't expect anything to make sense, nevertheless I found it interesting, it's always fun to watch Japanese highschool romance every now and then ~

The cast was so good!! A full list of young talents some of them are my favourites it was fun to watch them all together, some characters also were very funny, Raul's reactions and facial expressions were on point and very adorable, my cutie baby Raul is so grown up now still he is as cute and lovely as he ever was.

It's one of those very light, silly and totally crazy type of movies that you can watch after a heavy drama/movie to freshen up.

Just don't expect too much, just sit there and enjoy the ride.
