Growing up in an extraordinarily wealthy family, Mamoru Hyoga (Noriko Eguchi) has never wanted for anything in her entire life. Born and raised with the world at her feet, Mamoru has never had a financial worry in her life but that doesn’t mean she grew up with everything. Having lost both of her parents at a young age, Mamoru grew up without ever knowing the warmth of her parents’ love.&nbsp;

Despite her loss, and the moments of loneliness and sadness that occasionally plague her, Mamoru has done quite well on her own. The CEO of an e-book company, Three Star Books, Mamoru and her business partner and longtime friend, Ryo Ichinose (Shigeyuki Totsugi) have made their company a huge success. Drawn to the success of the company, Yu Haruno (Eiji Akaso) applies for one of Three Stars Books' open internships. Working part-time to support his family as he studies, Yu sees this internship as an opportunity to change his life. Little did he know just how much things would change, the day Mamoru walked into his life.

With one never knowing a family’s love and the other never going a day without it, Mamoru and Yu find themselves inexplicably drawn towards each other; but can their stark differences really be what brings them together or will they eventually drive them apart?

A timeless tale of opposite attraction, “SUPER RICH” is a 2021 drama directed by Shin Hirano, Hideyuki Aizawa, Toshiyuki Mitsuhashi, and Masakazu Abe.

Love Me, Love Me Not

Kazuomi Inui

One of the most admired and beloved romance manga writers of her time, Hanai Ao (Fumika Baba) has dedicated her entire life to her work. From sunup to sundown, she pours one hundred percent of herself into what she does and it shows. With countless fans clamoring for her latest work, Hanai is at the top of her game. As one of the best romance writers in the country, you’d think Hanai would be experienced in the world of love, but in reality, she’s never even had a boyfriend. A fact that her editor likes to point out. Frequently.

Completely fed up with the constant nagging of her editor, Hanai decides to take a walk, completely unaware that she looks like she's just survived a typhoon. Completely indifferent to anything but her work, Hanai has never bothered with her appearance. At least not until she catches her reflection in a shop window and has to do a double-take. Feeling inspired to make a change, Hanai walks into a nearby salon, where she’s immediately greeted by Riichi (Eiji Akaso), a charismatic and charming stylist who promises to give her a look she’ll love. Struck by Riichi’s charm, Hanai soon finds herself falling for this man she can’t seem to resist. Lucky for her, the feeling seems to be mutual.

With love in the air, it’s only a matter of time before Hanai finds herself experiencing all the joys of a first love, but her strict work ethic could become a problem. Can a workaholic really keep a steady relationship when she frequently forgets her boyfriend even exists?

Based on the manga of the same title by Aya Asano, “Hey Sensei, Don’t You Know?” is a 2019 romance drama directed by Keijiro Tsubakimoto and Tatsuya Aoki.

Love At First Sight Team

Having been bullied for most of her life, high school student Ninon Okamura (Marie Iitoyo) has never once felt comfortable around others. An incredibly introverted individual, Ninon struggles to communicate with anyone other than her family and her pet parrot, who offers her a fair amount of emotional support by remaining perched on her shoulder day in and day out. Ridiculed for her bird and her quiet nature, Ninon might very well have spent the entirety of her high school career under attack, had not her classmate and neighbor, Yuiji Kira (Taishi Nakagawa), unexpectedly intervened.

Easily the most handsome and popular boy in school, Yuiji spent his high school days harassing other students and dating any girl who happened to catch his eye. But beneath his cool exterior, Yuiji was desperately lonely. Suffering from a serious heart disease, Yuiji has only a year left to live but he refuses to tell anyone of his grim fate. When Ninon’s parents tell her Yuiji’s secret by mistake, she takes it upon herself to befriend her dying neighbor.&nbsp;

Promising to stay by his side until the end, Ninon and Yuiji’s newfound friendship begins to grow, and with it comes a meaning and happiness neither of them has ever known before.&nbsp;
