Haruna Kawaguchi, Kaori Fujimiya star in February 18 film

The staff of the live-action film of Matcha Hazuki's One Week Friends (Isshūkan Friends.) manga unveiled three new stills from the film on Thursday. The stills portray Yūki and Kaori's first meeting, and Yūki asking Kaori to be his friend.




The film's official website previously streamed a teaser video for the film in August.

The story of the manga revolves around Yūki, a boy who wants to become friends with his classmate and desk neighbor Kaori. However, she gently declines his friendship, saying, “But, my... memories of my friends disappear in a week...” Even so, Yūki wants to become her friend, and so the two become friends over and over again as the weeks pass.

Haruna Kawaguchi (Ouran High School Host Club, Say "I love you".) and Kento Yamazaki (Orange, Death Note, Your Lie in April) will play Kaori Fujimiya (seen left in photo below) and Yūki Hase (right), respectively.

The additional cast includes (clockwise from upper left):

Chōtokkyū band vocalist Takashi Matsuo additionally plays Shōgo Kiryū. Shōgo is the close friend of the male lead character Yūki Hase. Other cast members include Sairi Itō, Keisuke Okada, and Ryō Iwase in as-yet unspecified roles.

The film opens in Japan on February 18, 2017. Shōsuke Murakami (live-action Barefoot Gen, Water Boys, Akai Ito) is directing the film, while Yōko Izumisawa (Garo -Goldstorm- Shō) wrote the script.

Hazuki began the manga in 2012, and ended it in January 2015. Hazuki drew a special chapter for the manga in April 2015. Square Enix published the manga's seventh and final compiled book volume in April 2015.

A television anime adaptation premiered in April 2014. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and Sentai Filmworks has released the anime on home video in North America.
