It's been announced in the newspapers today that Hikaru will star in the movie "Moekare wa orenji-iro" as a firefighter!
The movie will be in cinemas from 8th July on and it's based on the manga under the same name by Tamashima Non. Check out your bookstores, it might be available for you locally! It's released internationally under the name "My Boyfriend in Orange". Here's a summary of the story:
High school student Moe has moved to a new town after the death of her father. Moe’s already having enough trouble fitting into her new class as it is, so she’s totally mortified when she ends up being “rescued” by local firefighter Kyosuke during a fire drill ... in front of all the kids at school. But the embarrassing incident might be a blessing in disguise, because gruff-but-kind Kyosuke gives Moe the courage she needs to leap out of her comfort zone as she aims to leave her loner days behind. Not to mention she’s soon falling head over heels for him … ! (Kodansha US)

Also RIP my money for potential magazine matsuri 😂

Date: 2022-02-19 08:57 (UTC)I just figured that I absolutely hate the plot and I hope they change some things lmao... It's so, so bad. Obviously I'm too old for high school romances, but I read the first two chapters and it's just written badly, that has nothing to do with me being too old 😂 It's super tropey and overly dramatic, as in, the characters overreact way too much. I'll only be there for Hikaru in a firefighter uniform in front of a beautiful, shiny fire truck. Definitely not the romance. If I see one more "Oh no, he caught a fever and doesn't have anyone but a clumsy high school girl to take care of him", I'll scream 🤣
