CATDOLL: The manga "Blade of the Immortal" will be adapted into a live-action movie and will be released in April 2017

The youth manga "Blade of the Immortal" written by Japanese cartoonist Hiroaki Samura is deeply loved by readers for its tough style and emotional entanglements between characters. It was previously announced that a live-action movie will be released. Now the official list of 9 actors in the live-action movie of "Blade of the Immortal" has been officially released. The famous Japanese actor Kimura Takuya will play the male protagonist Manji, and Sugisaki Hana will play the female protagonist Asano Rin. In addition, Fukushi Sota, Ichihara Hayato, Toda Erika, Ichikawa Ebizo, Kitamura Kazuki, Kuriyama Chiaki, Manshima Shinosuke, Tanaka Min, and Yamazaki Tsutomu will also join this work, and the famous director Miike Takashi will be the director of this work. This lineup is really quite strong. I hope this work can be as popular as the live-action version of "Rurouni Kenshin".

In order to avenge her blood feud, she asked Manji to be her bodyguard to eliminate
