Comments: I watched a couple more by Jinkusu!!! (2013) director Naoto Kumazawa to see if we had another Ryuichi Hiroki type who could do these pure love teen flicks.

A twenty-something teacher and a 16 year old student fall in love.

Nana Komatsu (Kanako, from World of Kanako Kawaki (2014)) nails the "model gaze". That is ... if you have to turn your head and look up at someone, you do so by turning your head first with your eyes closed, and then when your lined up with whomever you're going to look at, you open your eyes and Bang! I saw Gary Oldman demonstrate this move on the Conan O'Brien show. It's very effective: Scary if you're a guy; sexy if you're a girl.

Summary: Yuni Kururugi (Nana Komatsu) is a smart high school student. She excels in all subjects except for English. A new English teacher begins work at Yuni's high school. His name is Haruka Sakurai (Tomohisa Yamashita) and he is very handsome.

Yuni begins to receive one-on-one tutoring from Mr. Haruka Sakurai. Soon, Yuni develops feelings for her teacher and she realizes that she is now in love. Yuni then confesses to her teacher.
