The staff of the live-action film adaptation of Kemuri Karakara’s Laughing Under the Clouds (Donten ni Warau) manga revealed on Thursday that Yūta Koseki (Ashita ni Nareba, Sora to Umi no Aida) has joined the cast in the role of film-original character Ren Nagayama, a member of the Yamainu Squad formed by Tomomi Iwakura.
Karakara launched a sequel titled Donten ni Warau Gaiden (Laughing Under the Clouds – Side Story) on Mag Garden’s “Beat’s” manga site in 2014.
The story of Laughing Under the Clouds takes place in the 11th year of the Meiji era.
Katsuyuki Motohiro (Psycho-Pass chief director) is directing the film, and Yuuya Takahashi (Laughing Under the Clouds anime series, Tiger & Bunny, Lupin the Third) wrote the script.
