It is officially announced today that a live-action film adaptation of Aoi Hiiragi’s romantic coming of age manga Mimi wo Sumaseba / Whisper of the Heart is set to be released in Japan on September 18, 2020.
The distance between the two has become unexpectedly larger… “I am under so much tension and pressure to make a live-action film that tells ten years after the manga story that many people know, ‘Mimi wo Sumaseba.’
25-year-old Nana Seino (Ai in Mamoru Oshii-directed live-action film Tokyo Mukokuseki Shojo) and 31-year-old Touri Matsuzaka (Ken Washio in Gatchaman) are set to star in the Yuichiro Hirakawa (The Promised Neverland live-action film)-directed adaptation.
