Both Comikey and Omoi are releasing the manga in English digitally. Coamix describes the manga:
Growing up, Nobuko Tanaka was always a “side character” standing off in the corner. Now in her 20s, she’s fallen in love for the first time. While she isn’t any good at being assertive, she will muster her courage bit by bit as she tries her best to close the distance between herself and her crush — because even side characters fall in love. If you’re tired of the same old romantic protagonists, this modest, refreshing love story is for you.
Hiyori Sakurada (Twilight, live-action Saki Achiga-hen episode of side-A, Rent-A-Girlfriend, left in visual above) plays Nobuko Tanaka, while Taisei Kido (The Colors Within, right) plays Hiroki Irie.
Other cast members include:
Hiroki Kazama (live-action Cheer Boys!!, Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!, The Beginning of the Sea) is directing the film. Yasuko Kuramitsu (live-action Alice in Borderland) wrote the screenplay, and Hidekazu Sakamoto (live-action Oboreru Knife, At 25:00 in Akasaka, Buzzy Noise) scored the music.
The film will open in theaters in Japan on June 5.
Tamura launched the manga in Coamix’s Monthly Comic Zenon magazine in March 2017. Coamix released the manga’s 24th volume on January 20.
