Love My Life Live-Action

As some of you may know, Ebine Yamaji’s manga Love My Life will be adapted as a live-action film. The movie, which stars Rei Yoshii as Ichiko and Asami Imajuku (who incidentally also played a role in the movie adaptation of Kiriko Nananan’s Blue) as Eri, is scheduled to open in Japan on December 9th. I thought fans of the manga might be interested in seeing the trailer that is available on Youtube and—in much higher quality—on the official website, so here it is:

Doesn’t look too bad, although I have to admit that I had a different picture of the real Ichiko in mind, but I guess that’s only normal. If done right, this could become the Japanese answer to Saving Face, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I for one look forward to it.
