How a teen girl went from academic absurdity to an elite university in one amazing year – the film's subtitle perfectly sums up the plot of this charming and hilarious, yet controversial high school comedy. The bestseller adaptation about the brutal Japanese school system was one of the big box office hits in Japan in 2015.
