Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko [Blu-ray + DVD]

$17.49 ~~$24.99~~ In stock

From acclaimed director Ayumu Watanabe (Children of the Sea) and STUDIO4°C (Tekkonkinkreet, Mind Game) comes a heartwarming and moving comedy-drama with touches of magical realism. Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko is about an unconventional family and the bonds that they share in their sleepy seaside town.

Brash single mother Nikuko is well-known for her bold spirit, much to the embarrassment of Kikuko, her pensive yet imaginative daughter. In contrast to her mother, Kikuko wants nothing more than to fit in as she navigates the everyday social dramas of middle school. Life in the harbor is peaceful until a shocking revelation from the past threatens to uproot the pair’s tender relationship.

Sophia W. ★★★★★ Aug 22, 2026

The slipcover art is gorgeous and the Blu-ray transfer really brings out Studio4°C's rich, textured backgrounds. I laughed and teared up in equal measure watching Nikuko's story unfold, and the DVD copy is a nice bonus for borrowing out to friends.

Jacob ★★★★★ Aug 21, 2026

Studio4°C’s tactile animation really shines here, and the director's knack for blending whimsy with genuine emotion had me tearing up by the midpoint. The combo pack is a nice bonus since the behind-the-scenes featurette on the DVD disc adds real context to the magical realism.

The transfer to Blu-ray is crisp and colorful, which really brings Studio4°C's warm animation to life on my TV — the water scenes especially pop. I watched it with my mom and we were both wiping our eyes by the end, it's such a sweet story about Nikuko and her daughter.
