A live-action movie adaptation of Wataru Momose‘s Romantic Killer manga is set to premiere in Japan on December 12 JST.
A teaser trailer and teaser visual for the film were also released, previewing the main cast as well as main protagonist’s Anzu Hoshino’s attempts to ward off romance.
Starring in the Romantic Killer live-action movie are Moka Kamishiraishi as Anzu, Kyohei Takahashi as Tsukasa Kazuki, Masaya Kimura as Junta Hayami, and Sota Nakajima as Hijiri Koganei. Tsutomu Hanabusa (Tokyo Revengers live-action film) is handling directorial duties.
The Shueisha-published Romantic Killer manga started serialization on Shonen Jump+ in 2019 and released its fourth and final volume in 2020. Viz Media describes the manga as:
High schooler Anzu Hoshino has a great life. Every day she plays video games, pigs out on snacks, and pets her beloved cat. But this blissful existence is turned into a confusing mess when a magical creature transports her to an altered reality bereft of her favorite things. Now she’s stuck with hot guys instead! How can she possibly survive in such an awful world?!
It previously inspired a domerica-produced, Kazuya Ichikawa-directed (The World Ends with You: The Animation) anime that debuted on Netflix in 2022.
