Even in its sixth weekend, the live-action film adaptation of Aka Akasaka’s romantic comedy manga Kaguya-sama: Love Is War still stayed in the Japanese box office top 10, and its domestic gross has finally surpassed the two billion yen mark by selling 1.66 million tickets.
As you can remember, his previous live-action film adaptation work of a popular Japanese manga, Nisekoi (based on Naoshi Komi’s romantic comedy) in 2018, was a critical failure and a box office bomb making only 520 million yen.
Its opening week gross was much less than the same production team’s previous film in 2015, Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda.
