6.7 / 10 · TMDB

Sōra is a high school student who is basically invisible at school. He is friends with Chūya, who is an unpredictable character that often surprises those around him. Sōra and Chūya both have feelings for the same classmate, Kio Machida. The Machida girl refuses to come to class, because she doesn't want to dye her naturally brown hair black. Their school has unreasonable school rules, especially about uniforms, which include requiring all students to have black hair. Sōra and Chūya decide to stand up to change their school's black school rules so that Machida won’t have to repeat a year of school from missing too many classes.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film deftly blends teen drama with social satire, using the school setting as a metaphor for pushing back against mindless authority. The rebellion against absurd rules feels personal and grounded in the characters' relatable motivations, giving the conflict genuine emotional weight.

What lingers after the credits is a sense of quiet empowerment—a reminder that change often starts with a single, small act of defiance for someone you care about. It's a coming-of-age story that champions individuality over blind conformity. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Shintaro Sugawara
