The official website for the upcoming live-action film adaptation of Akiko Higashimura's Kurage Hime/Princess Jellyfish manga today posted the second poster visual with a 90-second trailer featuring the theme song "Mermaid Rhapsody" newly-written and performed by SEKAI NO OWARI.
Higashimura's otaku comedy manga has been serialized in Kodansha's Kiss since its 21st issue of 2008 and the latest 14th tankobon volume was just released last month on September 14. Brain's Base produced the 11-episode TV anime adaptation, and it was aired on Fuji TV's noitamina block from October to December 2010.
In this live-action film directed by Taisuke Kawamura (Nodame Cantabile, Himitsu no Akko-chan), the protagonist, jellyfish otaku girl Tsukimi Kurashita is played by 20-year-old actress Rena Nounen, who
gained a national popularity by her portrayal as Aki Amano in the 2013 NHK Asadora Amachan and
also starred in the recent successful live-action film adaptation of Taku Tsumugi's classic manga in
1980s, Hot Road.
