The staff of the live-action film adaptation of Fujita’s Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku (Otaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii) manga announced that Mitsuki Takahata (Napping Princess’ Kokone Morikawa) and Kento Yamazaki (live-action Death Note series’ L) are starring in the film as Narumi and Hirotaka, respectively.
The manga’s sixth volume will ship on July 31, and the manga had 7 million copies in print (including digital sales) prior to this.
In November 2015, the manga moved to Ichijinsha’s Comic POOL digital manga magazine.
The film will mark the two actors’ first time as costars.
