Synopsis

Two of today’s hottest young stars, Sota Fukushi and Kasumi Arimura join forces in the leading roles. This film represents the passionate and often painful emotions associated love – like a “Strobe”, powerful, bright and piercing, cutting through the heart like a knife’s “Edge”. Ninako Kinoshita, confesses her love to the most popular boy in the school, Ren Ichinose, but rejected on the spot. Unrequited love is a recurring theme in this high school drama.
