Days(1998)

Days follows six twenty-year-olds navigating a rigidly stratified society that has already sorted and ranked them by worth. At the center is Yabe Tetsuya, an alienated but genuine young man determined to transcend his disadvantaged background through sheer force of character and inner resolve. As each character pursues their own ambitions against systemic barriers, Days examines what it means to hold onto hope when the world has already written your story. The series captures the raw vulnerability and quiet resilience of youth caught between personal aspiration and social constraint, offering an intimate portrait of friendship, struggle, and the search for meaning in an unforgiving world.
