Kamiki Ryunosuke no Satsukyu (2022)

Must watch for all Kamiki Ryunosuke's fans!

Like all other satsukyu series this series followed a episodes of kamiki's fictional holidays. The series is episodic, none of the stories in the series are connected to each other and every episode has a different theme and subject. There is not a single episode I might have disliked. As compared to other satsukyu series kamiki's satsukyu was a bit different. In previous series where the episode looked like how an actor might spend his time over a shooting break, some of the episodes of kamiki's satsukyu focused upon a variety of different settings. This made the series stand out from its predecessors as it had something for every body.

Speaking of some of the best episodes in the series episode 3, 6, 7 and 8 were my favorite. Out of these four episodes, ep. 8 had the ability to be a stand alone 2 hr movie. The plot, cinematography, direction, music and the acting was amazing. It was truly an amazing finale to the series.

Speaking of the cast, kamiki was as usual amazing, as a fan it was a pleasure to see him in a role like this. Among the guest roles Adachi Yumi who was amazing, I'm surprised that it was her first time co-starring with Kamiki, it was fun seeing Narumi Riko and Kamiki reunite after years, they still have that amazing chemistry, it was funny to see Matsushige Yutaka to play a role of a crazy Kamiki fan right after iribito and last but not the least Nakano Taiga who was amazing as usual, the fact that this series was shot right after conpaji makes the episode even more special as kamiki and his chemistry was that strong.

I would like to recommend this to all Kamiki Ryunosuke fans! It was a pleasure to see him in a role like this.

Third installment of the "...no Satsukyu" franchise, after "Arimura Kasumi no Satsukyu" and "Takeuchi Ryoma no Satsukyu", this "Kamiki Ryunosuke no Satsukyu" is, very simply put, just as good as its predecessors. It has the same (many!) strengths (a nice script that combines many elements, part dream, part quirkiness, part humor, etc. etc., to obtain an original mix; a truly artistic, never pretentiously artsy, approach; a great lead - needless to say!) and also the same weakness, namely, the varied quality of the episodes: alongside little masterpieces with really memorable scenes (I'll name but two: Narumi Riko's hilarious reference to "Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo" and the "Chinese" restaurant with the giant panda mascot!), there are also a coupla much weaker episodes, as it's alas inevitable in dramas like this one.
Add some nice music and a pretty good "packaging" and you get a recommended watch! ^___-
p.s. Can't wait to watch also the next installment starring Sugisaki Hana!
