Scum's Wish (2017)

At the heart of their high school universe, Mugi Awaya and Hanabi Yasuraoka are perceived as the perfect pair, their radiant beauty and shared popularity creating an illusion of an ideal romance. Yet behind this facade, they share a clandestine pact, born out of shared, unrequited love for others. Mugi silently yearns for his former tutor, Akane Minagawa, now a refined and elusive teacher, while Hanabi's heart aches for a family friend turned teacher, a man who has known her since childhood. Their relationship serves as a sanctuary, a space to mourn their unfulfilled desires, their shared solitude fueling a physical connection. Yet, as they navigate the labyrinth of love and longing, the question lingers - how long can they find solace in this charade? Their story unfolds as a poignant exploration of love, solitude, and the complexity of young emotions.
