The staff for the live-action film of Honobu Yonezawa’s mystery novel Hyou-ka revealed more cast members and the film’s fall debut on Friday.
Fujiko Kojima and Amane Okayama both join the film’s cast as classic literature club members.
The story of Hyou-ka follows a boy named Hōtarō who is not assertive about getting involved, but was ordered by his older sister to join the classic literature club.
Yonezawa also wrote the Shōshimin mystery novel series that has had several manga adaptations, including Anko Manjūya’s Shunki Gentei Ichigo Tart Jiken (The Case of the Springtime Limited-Edition Strawberry Tart).
