After actually watching this 2025 reboot work, it's a masterpiece that doesn't disappoint! Starring Fitch's exclusive actress Momami Takada, who brings the popular work of Special G & Chinjao Musume to live-action after 5 years, the casting is truly satisfying for original fans.
The story follows a young male employee, Tanaka, who ends up drinking alone with his female boss, Akiko Sawamura, who is called a leftover woman. Initially reluctant, Tanaka gradually gets drawn to Akiko's unexpected kindness and cute side, and as they change bars to a second and third place, a 'weird atmosphere' develops. Missing the last train and heading to Akiko's place by taxi, he unleashes his pent-up sexual desire, faithfully recreating the essence of the original.
Momami Takada's performance is superb, delicately portraying Akiko's complex emotions. Especially in scenes with the young male employee, there are multiple intense moments that are sure to excite. Her face and body type resembling the original protagonist also receive high praise, with fans saying 'there's no one more suitable than her.'
However, for those who know the original, the afterstory is a point of interest. The lack of scenes showing them getting pregnant, married, and still being affectionate even with children is a bit disappointing and can be considered a minus. Additionally, this work only goes up to the middle of the story, not depicting the final outcome, which leaves some dissatisfaction. Since there's no mention of a second part on the packaging, it might end here, but compared to the old version, both the actress and actor are closer to the original image, showing overall improvement.
Perhaps reflecting on reviews of the previous work, the casting is accurate, with Momami Takada's wise performance shining particularly bright. Still, fans' desire to see the original's final scene is relatable. Overall, it's a work with few misses and stable quality, enjoyable as an exciting piece for young male employees. I look forward to future sequels!
