I Will Be Your Bloom

There was a time when Asuka Nakamachi (Tsubasa Honda) had everything in life she ever wanted. Teaching at a local high school, Asuka was thrilled to have finally made her lifelong dream of becoming a teacher come true. But now, at the age of thirty, Askua’s dreams have crumbled around her. After suffering a gutting failure, Asuka was forced to give up her dreams and set aside her career as a teacher. Withdrawing from the world around her, Asuka found herself wandering through her days, aimless and alone. Without any real purpose to her life, Asuka eventually wanders her way into a job working as a live-in housemother for a dormitory in which a struggling boy band resides. Unfamiliar with the group, Asuka is shocked to find that one of her former students, Dan Sagami (Fumiya Takahashi), is the group’s leader. As Dan’s former teacher, Asuka was the one who used to encourage him to pursue his dreams. Now Asuka finds their roles have reversed as she begins to find inspiration in Dan’s leadership and his undying passion to make his dreams come true. Bolstered by this new wave of inspiration, can Asuka find the strength to come to terms with her past mistakes and start to take those first tentative steps toward a brighter future? A delightfully adorable tale, “I Will Be Your Bloom” is a 2022 Japanese romantic comedy drama directed by Toshio Tsuboi and Naoki Kato.
