Returning to the directors chair after 2013s Maruyama, The Middle Schooler, maverick screenwriter Kudo Kankuro takes audiences to hell in the off-the-wall musical comedy Too Young to Die! As offbeat, outrageous & unexpectedly heartfelt as can be expected from Kudo, the manic fantasy stars Kamiki Ryunosuke ( Bakuman) as an unlucky teen navigating the different levels of Buddhist hell & bureaucracy, with Tokio frontman Nagase Tomoya from Yaji & Kita as his over-the-top rock demon mentor.
High school student Daisuke (Kamiki Ryunosuke) has yet to experience much of life, but he faces death straight on when the bus hes on hurls off a cliff. He wakes up in hell where he meets Killer K (Nagase Tomoya), the howling lead vocalist of underworld death metal band Hells. All Daisuke wants is to return to the mortal realm & profess his love to his crush Hiromi (Morikawa Aoi). With the help of Killer K, Daisuke will embark on an epic quest of heavy metal showdowns, hellish challenges & ill-fated incarnations, all for the chance to see Hiromi again.
