Ryosangata Riko: A Plastic Model Girl Builds Her Life Blu-ray Box

Currently assembling myself. Late-night drama meets plastic models in a hobby-centred human drama about an ordinary woman's small steps toward growth.

Yuki Yoda of Nogizaka 46 takes her first starring role in a terrestrial television serial drama. An entirely ordinary young woman questions herself in work and private life, discovering the hobby of plastic model building and gradually assembling herself into an adult.

With production cooperation from BANDAI SPIRITS, the drama features many actual model kits, including the mass-production Zaku, Nissan R 35 GT-R, Evangelion Unit-01, Space Battleship Yamato, Mini 4WD, SD Gundam BB Senshi, Love Live!, Ultraman and others.

Story: Riko Komukai, played by Yuki Yoda of Nogizaka 46, is average in every respect: personality, appearance, preferences, taste and values. She works at an event planning company in Event Department 3, regarded as the company's laid-back section. One day a colleague calls her a mass-produced person, prompting her to question herself. A model shop she happens to notice in town draws her inside. Her attention falls on a Zaku from the television anime Mobile Suit Gundam labelled mass-production type. At the stern shop owner's recommendation, she tries building a plastic model for the first time. Gradually drawn to the appeal of model building, she begins to reconsider herself.

All ten episodes are included. A 12-page booklet is enclosed.

Special making-of footage take viewers behind the scenes of Ryosangata Riko. It includes the filming of the opening and ending sequences, the work behind the model-building scenes, Yuki Yoda's emotional wrap on filming, and footage of her very first model build before production began. Enjoy extensive rare footage of Team Riko working together in a relaxed, cheerful atmosphere.
