24-year-old actor Ryoma Tekeuchi, best known as Shinnosuke Tomari in the 16th Heisei Kamen Rider series Kamen Rider Drive, is today confirmed to star in the upcoming live-action film adaptation of Momoko Kouda’s love romance shojo manga Sensei Kunshu (Teacher Monarch) to be released in 2018.
This is Kouda’s second manga work to get its live-action film adaptation, following Heroine Shikkaku directed by Tsutomu Hanabusa in 2015.
Sensei Kunshu (a pun to 専制君主/autocrat) was serialized in Shueisha’s Bessatsu Margaret from 2013 to 2017.
