Fujiyoshi Natsurin of the idol group Sakurazaka46 stars in her first leading film role in this social entertainment drama set in a high school newspaper club, depicting a group of students who expose the darkness of adults from the margins of society. Keiichi Kobayashi, director of Momoiro Sorao and Koi wa Hikari, is at the helm.

Yui Tokoro, a first-year high school student and literature enthusiast, enrolls in the prestigious Sakuraba Gakuen High School, where her beloved young author, Konoha Midorimachi, is said to be attending, only to learn that Konoha is an unknown, mysterious figure. Asked by the president of the literature club, which she had hoped to join, to uncover Konoha’s true identity as a condition for membership, Yui decides to infiltrate the newspaper club, which is said to have the information. Though she is constantly tossed about by the club’s eccentric members, Yui gradually becomes fascinated by the appeal of newspapers and the work of reporters as she serves as a rookie newspaper club journalist. Before long, the hidden darkness within the school begins to come to light, forcing Yui to make a decision.

Fujiyoshi plays the protagonist, Yui Tokoro, nicknamed Torokko, while up-and-coming young actors such as Akari Takaishi, Rinka Kumada, and Tomo Nakai co-star as members of the newspaper club and literature club. Shotaro Miyagawa, the original creator who was enrolled in the Film Department of Nihon University College of Art, turned an idea he came up with in high school into an original film proposal for a university class assignment, and it caught the attention of Takatomo Naoi, known as a producer behind projects such as Alps Stand no Hashi no Hō, who was then a part-time lecturer at the same faculty, leading to the film’s realization. Based on Miyagawa’s original concept, the screenplay was written by Daisuke Ohno, known for Tsujiura Renbo and Sayonara Elymantos.
