Fly Me to the Saitama(bcSunday)
Anyone who’s lived in Tokyo knows about the never-ending battle between the Japanese capital and its neighboring prefectures for cultural relevance. Director Takeuchi Hideki (the Thermae Romae series) takes this feud to an epic scale with his uproarious adaptation of Maya Mineo’s “gag manga.” In a fantasy world in which people from Saitama Prefecture are shunned by haughty Tokyo-jin, Rei transfers into a prestigious high school, rockets to the top of the social ladder, and then reveals his secret identity: a Saitama royalty who plans to take down the system from the inside.
