    Kokoro: Student from an All-Boys School

    【Client】Otsuka Foods Co., Ltd.
    【Agency】Hakuhodo Inc.
    【Production】AOI Pro.

    The story follows Kokoro, a high school student attending an all-boys school, in a series of eight episodes. Kokoro dreams of life in a co-ed school, thinking, "If I were in a co-ed school, I'd definitely be popular!" One day, after taking a sip of a Match soda in the classroom, Kokoro suddenly finds himself transported to a co-ed school in another world. He becomes confused by the "close distance between boys and girls"—something he never imagined in his all-boys school days—and freezes up when trying to talk to girls.

    Despite the confusion, Kokoro charges through his new life in a co-ed school, living his youth to the fullest. In the end, through these daily experiences, he begins to realize the irreplaceable youth he had in his original world—the all-boys school.
