posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The official website for the live-action film of Karin Anzai's It Takes More than a Pretty Face to Fall in Love (Kao Dake ja Suki ni Narimasen) manga began streaming a "theme song collaboration promotional video" on Tuesday, featuring the film's theme song "Almond Chocolate" by South Korean pop group ILLIT.
ILLIT created the song specifically for the film. SEKAI NO OWARI member Nakajin and producer Pdogg (BTS) co-produced the song.
The cast includes:
- Ryūbi Miyase (live-action Lovesick Ellie, Snowdrop No Hatsukoi,) as Ugo Kanato
- Rinka Kumada (live-action Brother Trap, Otonanajimi, Seishun Cinderella, Kimi ni Todoke) as Sana Chiken
- FANTASTICS member Sōta Nakajima as Ryou Doigaki
- Reia Yonekura as Yuzuri Nouhara
This is the first standalone lead role in a film for Miyase, a former Milk idol group member.
Saiji Yakumo (live-action Toiuken Ranbu, Liar x Liar, Ankoku Joshi, Mars) is directing the film, Kisa Miura (live-action Tomorrow, I Will Be Someone's Girlfriend, Sensei no Otoriyose, Fermat no Ryōri) is penning the script, and Kōji Endō is composing the music.
Comikey publishes the series in English and describes the story:
Sana Chiken loves good-looking guys more than anything. After enrolling at Minowa General Highschool in hopes of meeting her ideal man, she finds Udo Kanato, a man blessed with looks from the gods themselves. However, she quickly finds herself in a predicament! Due to skipping too many classes, Udo is set to be expelled! Unless she can help leverage his good looks and get the school's social media account to 100000 followers, Sana's dreamboat will disappear from her life forever. The story follows the pair and their changing relationship as they try to prevent Udo's expulsion.
Azai launched It Takes More than a Pretty Face to Fall in Love (Kao Dake ja Suki ni Narimasen) in Hana to Yume in 2020. Comikey licensed the series in English in 2021.
