The new Japanese romantic TV series “Renai Battle Royale” is coming to Netflix, set in a school where boys and girls are forbidden to meet. The TV production, directed by Matsumoto Soushi, Ota Ryo and Yasukawa Yuka, is inspired by real events: a student sued her school because she was expelled due to the violation of the aforementioned rule. Then, in-depth research was conducted on the opinions of Gen-Z on the matter and an original story was created that was able to give voice to their thoughts: “Renai Battle Royale”. Let’s discover together the plot, the cast and when it comes out on Netflix.
Renai Battle Royale: The Plot
The story of “Renai Battle Royale” takes place in an elite school attended by boys from wealthy families, where meetings between male and female students are strictly forbidden, and sexual activities between them are even more so. Violating these rules, we recall, results in expulsion from the school. While the student council sends patrols to check the love hotels (the operation is known as “Rabbit Hunt”), a second-year student, Ichika, becomes a “Love Keeper”, getting paid by the rule breakers to help them keep their relationships secret and help out her mother who is in debt because of her ex-husband: in exchange for the money, she destroys the photos trying to maintain order at the school. Touched by the sincere feelings of the students in love, Ichika begins to feel strong emotions for her classmate and ally Ryogo Maki. This changes her perspective on the situation, and she decides to sue the school to repeal the no-dating rule.
