The movie is adapted from Shinobu Gotoh’s well-known manga series, ‘Takumi-kun Series’, and tells the original story from the first Takumi-kun movie. It features the combination of three titles from the Kanzen-ban 1 (omnibus edition) of the original novels. Shion Morishita and Daigo Katou were cast as Takumi Hayama and Giichu Saki, respectively. Screenwriter Hiroko Kanasugi and Director Kenji Yokoi, who previously worked on the earlier movies reunited once again for this film.

SYNOPSIS: On the day of Shido Academy’s entrance exam, Gii (Giichi Saki), who stands out in the crowd with his striking presence, walks past Takumi Hayama in the hallway. Takumi is mesmerized by Gii’s exotic, attractive appearance. When school starts, Takumi is treated like a freak by his classmates because of his fear of touching and being touched by other people. But Takumi manages to get by, thanks to Toshihisa Katakura, his only good friend and roommate in the dorm. However, the peaceful days don’t last very long. In the library, third-year student Kei Aso asks Takumi to participate in the campus “shrine hunt” event with him. Izumi Takabayashi, who’s head over heels in love with Gii, and students who idolize Takabayashi start picking on Takumi. When Takabayashi realizes that his beloved Gii not only shrugs him off but is also interested in Takumi the freak, he gets consumed with jealousy and masterminds an attack on Takumi. Spring comes, and Takumi and Gii are now second-year students. They’re assigned to the same room in the dorm, and their relationship gets much closer. Then Takabayashi makes another move and drives Takumi into a corner. Gii realizes Takabayashi’s plot and tries to save Takumi, however… And thus starts Takumi and Gii’s long, long sparkly story.
