Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Amu Meguro's manga, this rode the 2010s wave of 'yankii' romances where scary-looking softies dominated shoujo pages. The red hair is pure visual shorthand for 'rebel' in Japanese media.
Sho Hirano was 21 playing a high schooler but had to maintain that aggressive hair dye for months. His scalp suffered for our entertainment.
