The Tatami Galaxy

There is no such thing as that rose-colored campus life.

On Fuji TV

A frenetic, visually dazzling psychological comedy that spirals through parallel versions of a young man's regretted past, blending surreal formal invention with genuine melancholy about wasted time and corrupted idealism.

When a college dropout stops for a late night bite at a mysterious ramen stand, he crosses paths with a self-proclaimed deity of matrimony. This bizarre meeting sends the young man hurtling through a horrifying flashback to his not-so-glorious college days when the influence of a cruel new friend turned him from a hopeless romantic into a mischievous “black cupid.”
