"Koi ni itaru yamai" starring Kento Nagao and Anna Yamada, stills unveiled for the first time

Stills from the film " Koi ni itaru yamai " (directed by Hiroki Ryuichi, to be released on October 24th), co-starring popular group Naniwa Danshi's Kento Nagao and actress Anna Yamada , have recently been released for the first time.

The original work is Yuki Shasendo's novel "Koi ni itaru yamai" (Media Works Bunko/KADOKAWA), which has been reprinted more than 30 times and has had over 2 million views of its introductory video on a TikTok book account. The story revolves around the awkward and sincere first love between shy high school boy Miyamine Nozomu, played by Nagao, and popular classmate Yorikawa Kei, played by Yamada, and is intertwined with the suspicious death of a classmate, a suicide attempt, and frightening suspicions about a lover. It is billed as "this fall's purest and most exciting love story."

There are three stills released for the first time. In the main shot of the two facing each other, Kei (Yamada) touches Miyamine's (Nagao) lips with his fingertips and says "Shhh!", creating an impressive gesture as if they are sharing a secret and encouraging each other to keep it a secret. In contrast to Kei's serious gaze, Miyamine's slightly confused and passive expression exudes a unique sense of tension, making this cut symbolic of the way this love is not straightforward.

In addition, a scene showing Miyamine with a confused expression and a cut of Kei smiling were also released.
