The official website for the live-action film of Shūichi Asō's Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.) manga revealed a new visual for the film on Friday.
The film will premiere in Japan on October 21. Yūichi Fukuda (live-action HK/Hentai Kamen, Mr. Nietzsche in the Convenience Store, Gintama) is directing the film.
The cast includes:
- Kento Yamazaki as Kusuo Saiki
- Kanna Hashimoto as Kokomi Teruhashi
- Hirofumi Arai as Riki Nendō
- Ryō Yoshizawa as Shun Kaidō
- Hideyuki Kasahara as Kineshi Hairo
- Kento Kaku as Aren Kuboyasu
- Murotsuyoshi as Uryoku Chōno
- Jirō Satō as Pinsuke Kanda
- Seiichi Tanabe as Kuniharu Saiki
- Yuki Uchida as Kurumi Saiki
The manga inspired an anime series that aired within the Oha-Suta ("Good Morning Star") program beginning last July. An anime sequel has been green-lit.
Funimation streamed the series with English subtitles as it aired in Japan, and also streamed an English broadcast dub for the series.
Asō launched the manga series in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2012 after drawing one-shot versions of the story in Weekly Shonen Jump and Jump Next! magazines in 2011. Shueisha published the 22nd compiled volume of the manga in Japan on July 4.
