Being the granddaughter of a yakuza leader was only troublesome. Senagaki Isaku had difficulty navigating her life due to others fearing her for her background. Determined to have a normal high school life filled with love and friendship, Isaku hides her identity and suppresses her feelings for Uto Keiya, her personal guard. She tells herself, "If I fall in love with a yakuza man, I won't be able to live the normal life I want", and tries to sever ties with her yakuza household. However, her plans were altered when Keiya appeared as a high schooler in the same class. Worried about Isaku's romantic endeavors, he pulled strings to enter the school to protect her from the dangers of men as her "guard dog". As Isaku spends more time with Keiya during her activities in high school, her suppressed love for Keiya grows stronger. On the other hand, Keiya who experiences high school for the first time, notices an emotional spark towards Isaku.

Bit weird // Kinda funny?

If you can ignore the horrendous age gap then this is actually an enjoyable movie. I found myself laughing audibly several times!

I know it's based on a manga (which I have read) and unfortunately in the world of Japanese mangas it is almost encouraged to explore the taboo. Isaku and Keiya have a 10 year age gap which isn't a bad thing except that she is 16 and he has quite literally raised her. I found the romantic scenes were a bit awkward to watch and I found it hard justifying why a 26 year old FULLY GROWN MAN is interested in a teenager. To give Keiya some credit, for the bulk of the film he does say he doesn't quite know what these feelings are that he's experiencing. I dunno, it's still feels weird to me.

Very reminiscent of "18-sai Niizuma, Furin Shimasu" so if you could handle that then this would be maybe the PG version.

It was refreshing to see Jesse in a serious but gives-me- butterflies role (although he does briefly break character and honestly I loved it). The pierced ears and dark hair really suit him. Fukumoto Riko's acting isn't amazing but it's a big improvement on some of her previous performances I've seen. Bonus points for cast because they had Sugimoto Tetta and Sasaki Nozomi. And Kanon & Matsui Haruna played their roles as Isaku's friends perfectly! So cute.

Music... I am heavily biased as a fan of SixTONES, but I do think "Barrier" is truly a great and catchy song. It matches the tone of the film well and it got me through the last little bits.
