Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko

Directed by Ayumu Watanabe

With Shinobu Otake, Cocomi, Natsuki Hanae, Ikuji Nakamura and Izumi Ishii

Brash single mother Nikuko is well-known for her bold spirit, much to the embarrassment of Kikuko, her pensive yet imaginative daughter. In contrast to her mother, Kikuko wants nothing more than to fit in as she navigates the everyday social dramas of middle school. Life in the harbor is peaceful until a shocking revelation from the past threatens to uproot the pair's tender relationship.
