TOHO announced the cast and September 14 opening for the live-action film adaptation of Mitsuharu Yanamoto’s Hibiki: Shōsetsuka ni Naru Hōhō (Hibiki ~How to Become a Novelist~) manga on Monday.
Meanwhile, Hibiki – a 15-year-old student – joins her school’s literary club, not knowing that Hanai is trying to track her down.
The author’s name is Hibiki Akui, but there is no contact address on the submission.
Shō Tsukikawa (live-action Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas) is directing the film, with a script by Masafumi Nishida (Tiger & Bunny).
