Etopen sure got a lot bigger. It'll be funny to see that giant plush being stolen. That said, the actress for Hisa (my personal favorite character) is quite the looker. Hopefully she can mimic her awesome tile toss and thrown down after she gets that devastating tsumo.

I wasn't going to expect much from this live action version, but the cast is really looking great. I might try to watch it even if I usually stay away from japanese live-action adaptations of manga.

I love that they changed the hair color for more realistic ones. They just look like japanese high-school girls with weird hair, and not like some ridiculous cosplayer.

Dude, I don't even read this manga but that cast is on point! They look a lot like their characters and very natural-like. This might be the best live-action cast I've seen yet.

Those character designs are so cute I might even check it out.

Yuzu Higuchi as Seika Bundō

Is she squinting?

Is she going to squint for her entire performance?

The most important question : "do they wear pantsu?"

When it comes to designing unique-looking cool/cute girls, Ritz Kobayashi is the best.

Not only will they wear panties but I doubt we will have near as many shots of their thighs and ass as in the anime/manga. I'm disapointed that Hajime isn't wearing her stripperific outfit but that was to be expected.

I guess I'll be "that guy" and point out that Nodoka's actress is not busty enough.

Well, you can always nitpick on several characters but it's looking great overall.

Actually, Nodoka's actress is pretty well known in idol fan circles for her "baby girl face" and a HUGE chest for her age. Please take a look at this and tell me how many 17-year-old Japanese girls have chests this big:



I mean, I thought she's in her early 20's at best.

If you Google Image her name, you will find gravure idol photos where is she well-endowed for a 17-year-old. For nitpick, where is Suga? They probably omitted him so they could make it more yuri/GL.

Interesting to note that the live action cast is very similar to the appearance of the anime cast.
