About Fight
Fight follows fifteen-year-old Yuu after a damaging incident at her father's spring factory rips her family apart. Rather than collapse, Yuu keeps pushing forward, meeting each setback with stubborn optimism and practical effort. She takes on chores and odd jobs, helps at home, and leans on a few friends as she holds out hope the family will come back together. The story stays close to her point of view, tracking everyday struggles, small triumphs and the slow erosion of security that comes with financial strain, without spoiling any major plot turns or final outcomes.
Created by Atsuko Hashibe, Fight aired in 2005 in Japan as a domestic television drama. The series stars Yuika Motokariya as Kido Yuu, with Naoto Ogata, Haruma Miura, Noriko Sakai and Yuki Saori in key roles.
