Six months ago, life went dark for the underworld negotiator Kida (Iwata Takanori) when his lifelong friend and fellow former outcast Makoto became embroiled in a deadly plot. Makoto had risen to become the head of a powerful trading firm, but the events that unfolded on Christmas Eve put an end to all that. Since then, Kida has continued to drift through life without a single bright spark to light up his life. Nobody cares if he lives or dies except his underworld boss, who values Kida’s inimitable skills.

But now, half a year later, the past catches up with Kida once more. He has been asked to help with a case he is reluctant to have anything to do with. But things take a turn for the strange when he meets a woman named Michiru (Matsui Airi) who sends him back to his younger years when she says: “One day is enough to change the world” – the catchphrase of a close friend of Kida and Makoto’s long-lost friend. Kida hasn’t seen that friend since the latter mysteriously vanished when Kida was 20. Could this woman have a connection with Kida or his long-lost friend?

This drama is the follow-up to the 2021 Japanese movie “The Master Plan.”

“Re: The End of the Tiny World ~Half A Year Later~” is a 2021 Japanese drama series that was directed by Makoto Kikukawa.

Re: The End of the Tiny World ~Half A Year Later~

🎆 Sparks of Life 🎆

Growing up without parents, it was as if Kida (Iwata Takanori) and Makoto (Mackenyu) were destined to become lifelong friends. With no one to depend on but each other, the two boys quickly formed an unshakable bond. Spending their lives as outcasts, it wasn’t difficult for them to spot a kindred spirit in Yocchi (Anna Yamada), a transfer student who, like them, had no one around to care for her. Welcoming Yocchi into their little “family”, the three friends grew up happy enough; but that happiness wouldn’t last forever.&nbsp;

Suffering an incident at the age of twenty that would radically change their lives, Kida and Makoto vowed then and there to someday have their revenge on those who had shattered their peaceful little world. Though both determined to exact their revenge, the paths Kida and Makoto chose to take to get there were vastly different. Working as a “dark negotiator”, it has taken Kida years to firmly establish himself at the top of the criminal underworld. Meanwhile, Makoto has taken a different route, rising through the ranks of the corporate world to eventually become the CEO of a well-established trading company. Though one rules the underworld and the other reigns atop the higher echelons of respectable society, both seek to exact the same revenge.&nbsp;

After years of intricate plots and complex schemes, the two friends find the time to make their move has finally arrived. With a setup more than ten years in the making, the two friends exact their revenge with a play so powerful, it brings the entire nation to its knees.

Adapted from the novel, “The End of the Tiny World” by Kaoru Yukinari, “The Master Plan” is a 2021 suspense film directed by Yuichi Sato.
