Wandering through life with no real goals, Akihito Yoshihara (Yuki Inoue) is barely managing to drag himself through the drudgery of his daily life. Doing his best to move away from a past that has left him terribly scarred, Akihito wants to forget the years that have long haunted him. But no matter how hard he tries, he just can’t seem to shake the memories that continually haunt him. Things for Akihito only get worse when fate brings Eriko Ishikawa (Ayane Kinoshita) back into his life.

Having once harbored a deep high school crush on Eriko, the sight of her suddenly drags Akihito back to the days he’d most like to forget. The subjects of vicious slander and baseless lies, both Akihito and Eriko were tormented endlessly in high school. Unable to do anything but drag themselves through each miserable day, both of them have spent every day since, trying desperately to forget those days of endless suffering.&nbsp;

Reunited seven years later, will Akihito and Eriko find a way to overcome the pain of the past and the strength they need to write for themselves a better future?

Sota Nishino (Ryusei Yokohama) and Yukihiro Nanase (Tsuyoshi Furukawa) have been friends for as long as either of them can remember. Now in high school, the two friends are as inseparable as ever, often visiting each other’s homes, either to do homework or just hang out. Though Sota has frequently been to Yukihiro’s house, during his most recent visit, he notices a very unexpected change.&nbsp;

Also a high school student, Yukihiro's younger sister, Mai (Risaki Matsukaze) has often been around her brother’s friends, so having Sota show up at her house was no big deal. But when Mai overhears her brother’s friend comment about her looks, specifically how cute she is, Mai finds herself incredibly flustered. Though neither Sota nor Mai are very experienced when it comes to love, they find themselves drawing closer as they begin to spend more time together.

Though things between the two young love birds seem to be going well, their young love is threatened when Sota’s cousin, Ituski Kaga (Koudai Matsuoka) begins to show an interest in Mai. Will the two find a way to overcome this unexpected new twist or will Mai’s young heart be swayed by the attention of a handsome new beau?

Based on the manga series of the same name, written by Modomu Akagawara, “Anitomo” is a 2018 romantic comedy film directed by Ryo Nakajima.

♥Brother's Friend♥

Sota Nishino (Ryusei Yokohama) is a handsome high school senior. He is close friends with Yukihiro Nanase (Tsuyoshi Furukawa), a boy in his grade, and occasionally comes to visit his friend’s house. Yukihiro Nanase’s innocent and naive younger sister Mai (Matsukaze Risaki) is a high school junior. One day, Sota Nishino and Yukihiro Nanase are talking in the latter’s room, thinking that their conversation is private and can’t be overheard. But the wall between Yukihiro Nanase’s room and his sister Mai’s is deceptively thin – and she overhears her brother’s friend saying he thinks she is pretty.

Inexperienced in all things love-related, Mai is unsure what to do with this information. But little by little, she begins to get to know Sota Nishino better. He too is something of a beginner when it comes to matters of the heart and their interactions are frequently awkward. But as they start to spend more time together, Cupid begins to take aim at their hearts!

This drama was based on a manga series of the same name by Modomu Akagawara that was first serialized in 2015.
