The Servant Prince

Original title: しもべの王子様

Directed by Takehiro Shindo

Once the untouchable prince at the top of the school hierarchy, Goto Naoya had everything: wealth, looks, intelligence, and the kind of charisma everyone admired. Sato Takaaki, meanwhile, was the gloomy outcast constantly ordered around by Naoya like a personal errand boy. Even when faced with Naoya’s selfish and unreasonable demands, Takaaki never once resisted. Ten years later, their worlds have completely flipped. After failing as a company president, Naoya loses everything and is left unemployed, clinging desperately to the pride he has left behind. Takaaki, on the other hand, has become the successful young CEO of a rising IT venture company. Their social standings are now the exact opposite of what they once were. And yet, despite the reversal, Takaaki still remains faithfully by Naoya’s side, devoting himself to him almost like a servant.
