Bakuman Teaser Trailer
A teaser trailer has been released on the official site for the live-action adaptation of the manga Bakuman. Viewers can see the actors Takeru Satoh and Ryunosuke Kamiki play Moritaka Mashiro and his friend and fellow aspiring mangaka Akito Takagi. We also get a glimpse of the heroine of the story Miho Azuki who is portrayed by the model and rising actor Nana Komatsu (Close Range Love, The World of Kanako).
Takeru Satoh should be familiar to Asian film fans from his performances as Rurouni Kenshin in the three recent live-action adaptations. Ryunosuke Kamiki starred alongside him but has developed a great career of his own as a dramatic actor as seen in The Kirishima Thing. Also seen in the trailer are the actors Lily Franky (Like Father, Like Son) and Takayuki Yamada (13 Assassins). Another incredibly talented actor, Shota Sometani, plays Moritaka and Akito’s rival Eiji Niizuma.
The film is directed by Hitoshi One, a director who came to prominence with the live-action dorama and film Moteki. His last film, Be My Baby (Koi no Uzu) will be released in the UK next week.
The film gets a theatrical release in Japan on October 03rd.
