Girls Commando

Haruka Koyamauchi, an ordinary junior high school student, is taken away and attacked by drug addicts on her way home from school. A mysterious beautiful girl, Mio Kurusu, suddenly appears at the scene and saves Haruka. The next day, Mio appears before Haruka as a transfer student. She is a girl commando on a secret mission from the police. Haruka volunteers to be the commando's assistant in order to help Mio in return for her help. Haruka tells him that it was just a coincidence that she saved him. Mio tells her that his purpose is to help the drug cartel.

Directed by Masaki Nanjo, Girls Commando leans on a strong ensemble — Riona Minami, Airi Natsume — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2020.
