Star Reformer

Nomura Satoru is an elite young bureaucrat on his way to the top. Not only does he have a large seaside development in progress, but he’s due to marry the beautiful daughter of a rich and influential businessman. Satoru is humbled, however, when he’s asked to connect with the common folk via a period of service in a local supermarket named Mantendo. Satoru initially clashes with his trainer, a no-nonsense part-timer named Ninomiya who has little use for the obviously arrogant Satoru. Not that it matters to Satoru. He’s too busy exercising his superiority – until one indignity after the next reduce him to a shadow of his inflated former self. Now at rock bottom, can Satoru regain his self-esteem and – with the help of former nemesis Ninomiya – work to save Mantendo? —Rottentomatoes.com
