A stalker murder, police misconduct, the death of a best friend: yet the case has only just begun. Yuko Yuzuki, author of The Blood of Wolves, brings her police mystery to the screen with Hana Sugisaki in the lead. Sugisaki plays a prefectural police public-relations officer who independently investigates her best friend's mysterious death, uncovering the truth behind the incident and the presence of the public-security police. The suspense mystery comes to Blu-ray!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHana Sugisaki stars in this adaptation of Kuchinai Sakura, the first novel in Yuko Yuzuki's Sakura series, published by Tokuma Bunko. Yuzuki is a Haruhiko Oyabu Award winner whose The Blood of Wolves, Sadato Sakata and Goriteki ni Arienai series have also been adapted. Sugisaki, acclaimed as one of her generation's leading actors, plays Izumi Moriguchi following starring films Ichiko, 52-Hertz Whales and A World of Unrequited Love. Director Hiroto Hara drew attention when selected to direct Return of the Dangerous Detectives; his television work includes Utsubora(2023, WOWOW) and Hachigatsu wa Yoru no Batting Center de(2021, TV Tokyo). This is his second feature film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiku Hagiwara, Kosuke Toyohara and Ken Yasuda play the police officers surrounding Izumi. Hagiwara, who broke through in My Beautiful Man, is her younger contemporary and investigative partner Shunichi Isokawa. His fresh appeal conveys a sincere young man who hides his affection for Izumi while tirelessly helping her inquiry. Yasuda portrays her superior Takayuki Togashi, formerly of public security, with a restrained performance stripped of excess. Toyohara plays Kosuke Kajiyama of the prefectural police First Investigation Division. The veteran actors' compelling performances contrast the quiet Togashi with the dynamic Kajiyama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolice, suspense and mystery converge in an unconventional series with more than 450, 000 copies sold.

The catharsis and visual beauty of the final scene, where Izumi makes a resolve among falling cherry blossoms and looks ahead, break the bounds of a genre film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'I will definitely clear up your suspicions.' Her best friend left with those words and was found dead a week later. A female university student in Hirai, Aichi, has been murdered by a shrine's eldest son after repeated stalking.
