Japan’s Toho is launching sales on Vibrator director Ryuichi Hiroki’s Strobe Edge, a live-action adaptation of the hit manga love story.
Currently in production, the film is set for a spring 2015 local release.
Starring Sota Fukushi and Kasumi Arimura, Strobe Edge is based on a 10-volume manga series that, according to Toho, has sold over 4.4 million copies as of June 2014. It tells the love story of two high school students, their romance and drama and their circle of friends.
Toho also has sci-fi action thriller Attack On Titan, a live-action feature also based on a highly popular manga series, which recently wrapped shooting.
Directed by Shinji Higuchi (The Sinking Of Japan), the film stars Haruma Miura, Kiko Mizuhara and Satomi Ishihara in a story about humans fighting mysterious humanoid creatures that eat people.
Currently in post-production, the film is due out in two parts next summer.
Toho’s autumn slate also includes films such as Takashi Miike’s sci-fi action thriller As The Gods Will and Isshin Inudo’s Christmas love story Miracle: Devil Claus’ Love And Magic, both due out in November.
