Synopsis
Flying Colors (ビリギャル, 2015) is a Japanese coming-of-age drama you can watch online on iFILM. Sayaka is a dyed-hair, short-skirt high schooler whose grades sit around a fourth-grader's level.
On a whim she enrolls in a cram school, where tutor Tsubota hands her an absurd target: pass the entrance exam for Keio, one of the country's toughest universities. One year to lift her ranking score from 30 to 70. Teachers mock her, her father has written her off, and only her mother keeps believing.
Director Nobuhiro Doi adapts a true story that became a runaway bestseller in Japan, with Kasumi Arimura in the lead. It skips the usual melodrama and lands somewhere honest — what happens when a written-off kid finds one adult who refuses to quit on her. Stream Flying Colors (2015) online on iFILM.
