Mizuki Yamamoto, Hey!Say!JUMP's Kei Inoo star in 2017 film
Miwa Ueda's Peach Girl manga is inspiring a live-action film adaptation that will premiere in 2017 in Japan.
Mizuki Yamamoto (live-action Black Butler) (pictured right) will star as Momo and idol group Hey!Say!JUMP's Kei Inoo will play Kairi in his first film role. Koji Shintoku will direct the film.
The story is about an average high school girl who everyone thinks is a beach bunny/slut because of her tanned skin. The actual reason she is so tanned is because she was on the swim team and tans very easily. She likes a boy who she heard only likes non-tanned girls.
The original shojo manga ran in Kodansha's Bessatsu Friend magazine from its October 1997 issue through its January 2004 issue. Ueda also published a spinoff manga, Peach Girl: Sae’s Story in 2005. Tokyopop published both the original manga and the spinoff in North America, but split the original manga into two separate series: Peach Girl and Peach Girl: Change of Heart.
The series inspired a live-action drama in Taiwan in 2001 and a Japanese television anime in 2005. Funimation released the anime adaptation.
