“Takumi Kun Series” Movie Review
The “Takumi-kun Series” is a romance drama that follows the lives of high school students Takumi (Yanagishita Tomo), a reclusive guy who has a PTSD from being sexually assaulted, which results in him having a phobia against being touched, and Saki “Gii” Giichi (Kato Keisuke), a popular guy who woes Takumi and helps him overcome his phobia. The series highlights the importance of friendship, and although the first movie shies away from the notion of toxic masculinity in such an important way that it highlights the triumph of friendship and love both in the romantic and platonic aspects of life. Takumi and Gii are surrounded by their friends who help them whenever they are experiencing difficulties in their relationship, and they in turn are always there for their friends. While heavier subject matters are confronted, the audience is safe in these movies as the writers do not devastate for the sake of devastating the audience.
