Nakajima Kento and Chinen Yuri to star in Miseinen Dakedo Kodomo Janai
Sexy Zone's Nakajima Kento (Silver Spoon) and Hey! Say! JUMP's Chinen Yuri (Gold Medal Man) have been cast as romantic rivals in the live-action adaptation of the manga Miseinen Dakedo Kodomo Janai ("That is Not a Child but a Minor"). The two Johnny's idols will star opposite up-and-coming actress Taira Yuna (Sagrada Reset) in the teen love story.
Based on Minami Kanan's manga that was serialized from 2012 to 2016, Miseinen Dakedo Kodomo Janai will follow Taira's schoolgirl Karin who receives an unexpected gift from her parents for her 16th birthday: marriage with her crush Nao, a senior at her high school played by Nakajima. While Karin initially thinks that they're getting married out of love, Nao only agreed to the arrangement for economic reasons. Chinen plays Karin's childhood friend and longtime admirer Isuzu who discovers their secret and pushes her to get a divorce.
Miseinen Dakedo Kodomo Janai will be directed by Hanabusa Tsutomu, who helmed the shojo manga adaptations No Longer Heroine and High School Debut. Shooting will take place in August and September, and the film is slated for release on December 23, 2017.
