SynopsisJun-ai Sanga: Ai to MakotoAi Saotome、 the daughter of Saotome Zaibatsu、 is saved by a local boy、 Makoto Taiga 、 at a ski resort in the Tateshina Highlands when she was in elementary school. This incident leaves a serious injury to Makoto’s forehead、 which destroys his life afterwards. Although Ai desperately tries to support Makoto、 who has become a delinquent、 his heart remains hardened. Various obstacles stand between them、 such as a love rival and a Makoto’s rival hoodlum. Nevertheless、 the two gradually become attracted to each other over the years、 making it a pure romance manga masterpiece representative of the Showa era.Written by Ikki Kajiwara and drawn by Takumi Nagayasu、 the manga was serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine from 1973 to 1976. It was rare to serialize a pure love story in a manga for boys、 but at the time、 the pure love story between a young woman from high society and a juvenile delinquent took the country by storm. It gained great popularity and was made into a movie by Shochiku in 1974、 with Hideki Saijo as Makoto Taiga and Ai Saotome as Ai Saotome、 an up-and-coming actor who made her debut under the same name as the character. Its popularity led to the development of a TV drama series、 which was broadcast on TV Tokyo from October 1974 to March 1975. For this TV series、 Makoto Taiga was played by Yusuke Natsu、 and the role of Ai Saotome was played by then 15-year-old Kimiko Ikegami (granddaughter of Bando Mitsugoro VIII). Shochiku produced a movie trilogy、 culminating the story over the course of three years in 1974、 1975、 and 1976. It was later remade in 2012 by Kadokawa Pictures、 with Satoshi Tsumabuki as Makoto Taiga and Emi Takei as Ai Saotome、 and this version was officially selected for the 65th Cannes Film Festival Midnight Screening section.
