It was announced that Sakisaka Io's popular manga "Ao Haru Ride", which is currently being serialized on Bessatsu Margaret, would get a live-action film adaptation starring Honda Tsubasa and Higashide Masahiro.
 


"Ao Haru Ride" depicts a high school girl Yoshioka Futaba's (played by Honda) youth and romance with her first love in her junior high school days Mabuchi Kou (Higashide), who Futaba has a reunion at the high school.

This film adaptation is directed by Miki Takahiro ("Bokura ga Ita"), and the whole movie is said to be shot in Toyama and Nagasaki.

Though Honda's trademark is her short hair, she wears 20cm long hair extensions to look more like Futaba. She commented, "I am a shy and introverted person, so I always admired straightforward and honest girl like Futaba-chan. Through this film, I hope I could change myself as well."

Higashide also commented, "By maximizing the beautiful and stylish charms of the original manga, I would like to make it a film that the fans of the original could say that the 'live-action adaptation is amazing too'.

Other cast members include Shinkawa Yua (as "Murao Shuko"), Yoshizawa Ryo (as "Kominato Aya"), Fujimoto Izumi (as "Makita Yuri"), and Koyanagi Yu (as "Tanaka Yoichi").




Live-action film "Ao Haru Ride" is set for release in December.
