If you loved Asahinagu, try Kakegurui: The Movie

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Tsutomu Hanabusa, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Asahinagu, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

foreign gem

What Kakegurui: The Movie is

Academy doors. Bell rings. Cherry blossoms. The children of Japan’s elite gamble for status in a cutthroat social system; debts turn some into indentured slaves. A new transfer student, Yumeko Jabami, arrives with a mysterious agenda. A live-action manga adaptation that doubles down on the source material's lurid energy.
