MIIKE's manga adaptation revolves around the love story of Ai and Makoto, an innocent upper-class girl and a delinquent boy. FOR LOVE´S SAKE proves to be an entertaining and colourful mix of musical comedy, gang movie and coming-of-age-story that also depicts the bitter aspects of a world of outsiders.ÜBER DEN REGISSEUR
