Thanks to the anime streaming wars still raging on, one of Netflix’s biggest anime originals is getting its own live-action movie next year, with the streaming service actually having no role in the proceedings.protagonists Taro Sakamoto and Fumiya Takahashi have already been cast, with actors Ren Meguro and Shin Asakura taking on the parts, it takes a village to create this convenience-store-based anime. As the release date approaches, the live-action movie has announced that Sakamoto’s wife and daughter have been cast. Actor Ueta Aya will play the part of Aoi Sakamoto, aka Taro’s wife, with young actor Yoshimoto Miyu taking on the role of their daughter, Hana Sakamoto. As fans of the anime know, it was both Aoi and Hana that were the main impetus for Taro giving up his hitman days, though the past has had a way of revisiting the convenience store owner., actor Aya Ueto shared the following statement: “After reading the original manga, I was instantly drawn into the world of “” and knew I had to be a part of it. This was my first time acting alongside Meguro Ren, but I’ve always loved his sensitive and sincere acting. His sincere approach to the work on set was impressive, and I feel truly honored to have had the opportunity to work with him. While there are many powerful scenes filmed using a variety of techniques, I believe Sakamoto Aoi’s scenes are packed with moments that convey the warmth of family life amid the comedic elements. I hope that she adds a small accent to the overall film. I’m sure many of you are wondering, “How will they adaptinto a live-action film?” I hope you’ll find the answer in theaters. I’m also looking forward to seeing the finished product.”, as the “final battle” is currently underway.
