An official website and Twitter account have been opened with the announcement that Non Tamashima's My Boyfriend in Orange manga is getting a live-action film adaptation.
Snow Man group member Hikaru Iwamoto has been cast as the firefighter Kyōsuke Ebihara and model Meru Nukumi has been cast as high school student Moe Sasaki.
The film is set to premiere on July 18 in Japan.
Shōsuke Murakami is directing the film, and Junpei Yamaoka wrote the script. Shochiku is distributing the film.
Kodansha Comics publishes the manga in English and describes it as:
Hot firemen, now in the world of shojo manga! High school student Moe has moved to a new town after the death of her father. Moe's already having enough trouble fitting into her new class as it is, so she's totally mortified when she ends up being “rescued” by local firefighter Kyōsuke during a fire drill … in front of all the kids at school. But the embarrassing incident might be a blessing in disguise, because gruff-but-kind Kyōsuke gives Moe the courage she needs to leap out of her comfort zone as she aims to leave her loner days behind. Not to mention she's soon falling head over heels for him … !
