The poster perfectly captures the poignant struggles of youth and the longing for a safe space to express one’s true self.
Nagai Saburo’s manga, ‘Smells Like Green Spirit’ follows follows Mishima, a student living in a remote countryside who is bullied by his classmates because he “seemed gay.” In reality, Mishima does like men, but his only escape is secretly dressing up as a woman. One day, Mishima discovers Kirino, the leader of the bullying group, trying to apply Mishima’s lost lipstick. The manga depicts the serious inner conflicts of male students as they struggle to look for a place in this world where they can be their “true selves”.
The poster features all the main characters on the school rooftop, with Mishima, Makoto, and Yumeno hanging out at the top, gazing into the distance, while their teacher, Yanagida, sits below. To the right, close-up images of the characters showcase their expressions as they look directly into the camera. The background perfectly captures a nostalgic summer vibe, with a bright blue sky and fluffy clouds.
