The story was set and the movie filmed primarily in Fukuoka. same name. Each scene of the movie is carefully set in various locations throughout the city, and even familiar places will seem fresh and new once seen on the big screen. For those who know Fukuoka well, there is plenty to enjoy in this movie beside the story!

Of course, for those who aren’t already familiar with Fukuoka, or for those who are primarily fans of the cast of this movie or the original manga, we think that the movie could be an excellent way to get to know the city better!
