Mojiponika!

Gina, a foreign exchange student with an obsession for kanji and yakuza films, offers a massive sum of money to Tsumugi, the son of an embroidery shop owner, to sew the lettering onto her tokkou-fuku (gang jacket).

Tsumugi always thought that not being able to read every kanji on town signs, landmarks, or people's names was never a big deal... but as Gina shares her profound "love for characters," he begins to realize the true meaning behind the written word.

As their frayed youth and tangled feelings begin to unravel, their story—and their hearts—start moving in sync with the rhythmic beat of the sewing machine needle!
