Based on the slice-of-life homonymous manga series written and illustrated by Makoto Ojiro presents a rather unusual romance in its premise, but at the same time, is as Japanese as a title could be, particularly in the way it presents the ‘will-they-won't-they' aspect, which is one of the most central in the story.

The story takes place in a small rural city, where Ganta Nakami, a highschool student, is suffering from chronic insomnia, that has led him to a number of issues in his life, particularly a constant crankiness that has made his classmates avoid him for the most part, and a series of dozing-offs that frequently lead to injuries, usually treated by the school nurse, Ms Kurashiki.

Before being widely known through his two “Baby Assassins” movies, Yugo Sakamoto has also shot a grittier, somewhat darker movie, “The Janitor”, who still implements, though, the chaotic narrative approach his later movies included.
on Hi-Yah!
The titular character is actually Akira Fukami, a man whose father was murdered and was taken in by his sworn blood brother, Majima, a yakuza leader who trained Fukami into becoming his most formidable assassin. As the movie begins, and as a side job, the young man poses as a janitor in a high school where Majima’s daughter, Yui is attending, secretly functioning as her bodyguard. Despite some issues here and there, his life proceeds smoothly, until Majima announces that he wants to take his business to Hong Kong.

Why didn’t I tell you a million times? is a Japanese series written by Naoko Adachi starring Mao Inoue, Takeru Satō and Kenichi Matsuyama.
Why didn’t I tell you a million times? This is Netflix’s commitment to the most realistic, sensitive (and cheesy) Japanese fiction, with a certain intention, especially when it comes to photography.
A series that is committed to romanticism, sentimentality and to win over “its” audience. Without dissimulation, neither in the music nor in the dialogues. It is a series with intimate touches that offers us a journey with emotions running high.
It knows how to change from its initial approach but without changing course too much, without disappointing those viewers who expect the sensitive rather than the spectacular.
It has the merit of unfolding at a good pace, of knowing how to win over the spectator in its slow and reflective narrative and,...
