What Day Were You Born? Blu-ray BOX

Starring Marie Iitoyo and written by Shinji Nojima, a roller-coaster drama packed with shocks!

In a room with the curtains tightly closed, a woman with disheveled hair, dressed in sweatpants and a T-shirt, plays a game without expression. She is Sui Kurome, played by Marie Iitoyo, aged 27. For almost ten years she has lived as a recluse, helping with household chores while sharing a home with her manga-artist father, Joji, played by Takanori Jinnai.

One day, Joji is told his serial will be canceled. His editor Kumi Kurusu, played by Shishido Kavka, harshly criticizes his work: the drawings are good, but the story is hopelessly boring and his sensibilities are outdated. Desperate to earn a living, Joji pleads that he will do anything. Kurusu proposes an unusual collaboration in which bestselling novelist Ryu En Kumon, played by Junpei Mizobata, will write the original story and Joji will draw it. Kumon has just one condition: Sui must serve as the model for the protagonist. What is his real intention?

At that moment, Sui receives an invitation to her high-school reunion. Her withdrawal from society actually began after a motorcycle accident during those school years. Tormented by traumatic memories, she is nevertheless persuaded by Kumon to attend the reunion...
