DMM Short Drama 'Revenge Reunion' Set for Launch

DMM, known for its diverse video content, is proud to announce the exclusive streaming of the short drama 'Revenge Reunion' starting December 2, 2025, on its new service, DMM Short. This riveting drama, based on the popular digital comic published by DMM's CLLENN, features a chilling tale of a man's relentless pursuit of vengeance against his former classmates who drove his first love to suicide.

The story follows Kakuru, a man who dedicated 18 years of his life to avenging his childhood trauma. After being tormented by his classmates, Kakuru found solace in the kindness of a girl named Emma, his only friend. Tragically, Emma ends her life one day, leaving Kakuru heartbroken and enraged. When he stumbles upon a diary chronicling Emma's suffering, he uncovers the horrifying truth behind her death. This revelation ignites a burning desire for revenge, leading Kakuru to confront the classmates who now lead seemingly perfect lives, blissfully unaware of the consequences awaiting them.

The series stars Yuichi Nakamura as Kakuru, who embodies the character's duality of charm and fury. Known for his roles in 'Gokusen' and 'Kamen Rider Den-O,' Nakamura brings depth to a character whose past haunts him. Opposite him, the cast includes noted comedian Yutti and actors Tomohiro Waki and Haruka Kodama, who portray the antagonists from Kakuru's past. Their performances promise to be both engaging and unsettling, capturing the tension of this revenge saga.

The plot is punctuated by graphic retributions that reflect Kakuru's quest for justice. Each episode unveils more about his elaborate plans, demonstrating a chilling creativity in how he inflicts psychological torment on his targets. For instance, the first victim, Souichi Akutsu (played by Yutti), faces a harrowing fate due to his past actions. This immediate impact of Kakuru's vengeance sets a tone of suspense, compelling viewers to eagerly anticipate the next episode.

Each encounter is layered with emotion, showcasing not just the physical confrontations but also the psychological struggle within Kakuru. The innovative cinematography, directed by Tomoaki Kaneko, adds a fresh perspective to this dark tale. His vision transforms a revenge story into a gripping spectacle, filled with unexpected twists and intense moments.

As the series progresses, viewers will be left questioning how far one man will go for revenge and what lies beyond the vengeance he seeks. The show will feature a total of 30 episodes, inviting audiences to binge-watch the entire series upon its release. With episodes ranging between 2 to 3 minutes, it's designed for easy viewing, perfect for smartphones during commutes.
